James Marks: Revolution
A self-taught artist takes his art to the streets. James Marks posts an army of wire men in the gritty downtown of a Louisiana city, among graffiti tags and shoes flung over power lines.
James is an outside Outsider.
He works constantly. His hands never stop twisting wire into sculptures.
