“James depicts {his} turkeys with remarkable force and intensity… creating enduring portraits of his birds, extolling their repelling asymmetrical imperfections, the strangely erotic, carnivalesque dissensions of their features. His depictions of this bird evinces a palpable fascination with textures, surfaces and colours..”
D Nahas ( New York Art Critic) 2011
