About
Jordan James Kaye is a multifaceted visual artist based in Naarm/Melbourne.

His artistic practice is an experimental mergence of analog film, sculpture, poetry, installation and performance.

His artworks are informed by his poetic response to the human encounter of our world, seeded by a desire to unveil threads to the fabric of his personal experience.

He realises works that are technically complex, driven by pure compulsion, that vibrate and encourage immersion in deep reflection.
