Annie James

Annie James is an artist from Yorkshire, now based in the North East of England. Their work explores the anxiety of being a parent when a child has cancer, using personal experience and community conversations to shape their practice. Through immersive and thought-provoking pieces, James captures the tension between fear, hope, and uncertainty. Their work is an evolving narrative of vulnerability and resilience, inviting reflection on the emotional weight of illness and the struggle for control in the face of the unknown.

‘Scan-xiety’ kiln formed and powder printed glass, metal, Perspex Scanxiety is an interactive glass zoetrope exploring the emotional strain of waiting for medical scan results. Made from kiln-formed and powder-printed glass, the piece relies on a pulley system that requires two participants: one to operate the mechanism and another to observe the looping internal imagery. This unequal interaction reflects the loss of agency and helplessness often felt during medical uncertainty. The repetitive, circular motion echoes the mental cycles of anxiety, fear, and hope that accompany these waiting periods. Drawing on personal experience, the work invites reflection on vulnerability, control, and the invisible weight carried by those caught in limbo.
