Introduction to "Live Wire":
"This film captures the creative journey of artist James Paterson as he brings his first children's book, Saturday Morning, to life. Known for his unique, large-scale moving wire sculptures, Paterson's vibrant and joyful style is translated into two dimentional "wirestrations" that correspond with images in his latest machine. Live Wire offers an intimate look at an artist whose playful creations inspire wonder and awe."

Saturday Morning book by James Paterson
Saturday Morning and The Storytelling Machine have been traveling to schools and libraries, delighting children and adults alike. It has been a joy to have students participate in workshops and see the creativity that emerges.
Connect with me if you would like to host a visit from The Storytelling Machine and having a reading from the Saturday Morning book at your school, library, or event. I'd love to share my wild, whimsical wire sculpture and the captivating story of Antwon and Bejoe and their Saturday Morning adventures with you and your audience.

coverage. Large signature pieces have been commissioned for some of
the world's most renown children's hospitals and private collectors. His wire sculptures have been found at top exhibitions in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia.

"I hope that people who see my art will come away with an infusion of joy and delight. That they will be reminded there are mysteries in life worth probing, inner journeys of discovery worth taking and deep resonant rhythms sounding around us that we must listen carefully for if we are to hear them and be awakened to the redemptive nature of God in creation."
"I want people who see my art to reclaim a simple sense of wonder."
