James Marshall: The Liminal Object

An interview with James Marshall is presented in which he talks about his creative process, Zen, the realm of the liminal and his work. The interview takes place in his studio, just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. His theme is liminality - the moment of becoming, the space between worlds. If subliminal means that which is below the threshold of ordinary consciousness and perception, then the liminal is the point of emergence, the threshold itself, the turning point between one realm and another. The liminal state is characterised by ambiguity, openness and indeterminacy.
