Jimmy Peggie is a Scottish‑born, Phoenix‑based multimedia artist whose work sits at the quiet intersection of video, sound, and environmental observation. Rooted in minimalism and guided by a deep sensitivity to atmosphere, his video art transforms subtle moments such as shifting light, eroding surfaces, the hum of electromagnetic space into meditative visual experiences.
Working across still and moving images, he constructs pieces that unfold slowly, inviting viewers to linger in textures and tones that might otherwise go unnoticed. His videos often pair monochrome or muted imagery with immersive soundscapes, creating a sense of suspended time. Rather than documenting the world, he distills it, reducing landscapes and objects to their essential gestures and rhythms.
His background in sound art and radio transmission deeply informs his visual practice. The result is a body of work that feels both tactile and ephemeral, grounded in physical environments yet attuned to the invisible forces that shape them. Whether exploring desert topographies, abandoned structures, or the quiet erosion of materials, his video art offers a contemplative space where slowness becomes a form of attention.
Jimmy is a co-founder of Sound Art Arizona and Playground Arts
