James Webb is one of 12 artists in the exhibition Between Rivers. For this exhibition Webb has made a new commission: A series of personal questions addressed to a Neolithic clay vessel from the Upper Yellow River region. The vessel, which is approximately 4000 years old and formed from the clay of the Yellow River in China, functions as a witness to the machinations of time from within the context it has emerged.

Webb creates site-specific interventions and installations, using sound, found objects, and text. These works draw upon a wide array of references, from literature and cinema to astronomy and the natural world. Objects, techniques, and forms, removed from their original contexts, are reorientated in new environments and situations, with the resulting dissonances and harmonizations creating sites for encounter. In his series of works which question objects, Webb offers a counterpoint to a world saturated with information, insisting on a persistent engagement with an object and consideration of its conditions and history.
