JIM SANBORN
Whether he is building replica atomic bombs, recreating nuclear experiments or developing ciphers yet to be solved by the CIA or NSA, Jim Sanborn strives to understand the entirety of his subject before giving it new form.
Jim Sanborn graduated with a double major in art history and sociology from Randolph-Macon College, Ashland in 1969 and received his MFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn in 1971. Originally from Washington, D.C., the artist now works and lives in Maryland’s Western Shore.
