I
found James Mercer’s art to be very intriguing, and rather odd, at first. There was a quality to his work that meant something to me, and went beyond just what I saw. When I met with him, I was expecting to meet with an older, more sophisticated person. I was surprised to find that he was a rather young, hip looking individual. As we spoke, I found him to be soft-spoken, eloquent, and really creative. I could tell that this was going to be a great interview.
