James Aldridge is a visual artist based in Wiltshire, UK, exploring his and others' bodily and perceptual relationship to their natural and cultural heritage.
James works with people and places, researching the role that visual arts practice can play in supporting the development of integrated personal and environmental awareness.
He is interested in the relationship between art and embodied learning, with a working process that combines direct sensory interaction with an environment (walking, collecting, recording), research into the ecology or history of the area, and reflecting on or interpreting that research through making.
