Artistic Practice
Working across sound, image, environment and material.
Jimmy Peggie's practice is founded on an interdisciplinary approach to contemporary art. Sound, photography, moving image and installation are not treated as separate disciplines, but as interconnected ways of investigating the world.
His work develops through observation, recording, experimentation and the transformation of physical and environmental material into artistic experiences.
Sound
Sound is both a compositional medium and a means of investigating the environment.
Drawing on field recordings, electromagnetic phenomena, environmental textures and electronic processes, Jimmy creates works that explore atmosphere, duration, resonance and the subtle relationships between sound and place.
His compositions move between abstraction, environmental soundscape and experimental sonic structures.
Photography
Photography provides a means of examining the physical traces of time.
Through studies of landscapes, surfaces, materials and environmental structures, Jimmy explores erosion, fragmentation, repetition and transformation.
The resulting images function as independent artworks and as visual extensions of his wider interdisciplinary practice.
Moving Image
Moving image allows the processes of change and duration to become visible.
Through experimental film, recorded environments and audiovisual composition, Jimmy investigates the relationship between stillness, movement, sound and temporal perception.
Installation
Installation creates a physical context in which sound, image and material can interact.
Working with spatial sound, projection and environmental elements, he develops experiences that invite audiences to engage with artworks through listening, movement and observation.
Artistic Research
Research forms an important part of his creative process.
His interests include geological history, environmental transformation, acoustic ecology, electromagnetic phenomena, material memory and the philosophical dimensions of time.
These areas of investigation provide conceptual foundations for projects that connect contemporary art with broader questions concerning humanity and the natural world.
