​In Transit, RJ presents a collection of figurative digital paintings, animations and sculptures focussing on a central motif of transportation. Taken together, the dithered digital paintings and plasticine and polymer clay sculptures employ the notion of train carriages, tracks and the act of travel itself as a means of metaphorical inquiry regarding the nature of presence and place in a life lived online.

​RJ is a digital artist based in Edinburgh, working in pixel-painting, GIFs and animation. After reading Classics at Cambridge University, he went on to study an MA in Modern literature and a PhD in contemporary American fiction, with reference to modernism, meta-modernism and theories of intertextuality.
