Artist Statement
Radiation is a universal and evolutionary presence.
It can kill and it can cure.
Radiation alerts us to the paradoxical world in which we live.
Human use of radiation is inevitably a calculated risk.
As dependence on technology escalates, the risks increase.
Understanding those risks is a personal and political imperative.
James Darling, 2014
SIGN OF THE TIMES was dedicated to Rhonda Kellock (1962 – 2014)
