JAMES ALDRIDGE - Visual Artist and Consultant


James works with 'natural' and recycled materials, to produce sculptural pieces that range from small hand-held objects to wearable artwork, freestanding sculpture and large site-specific installations.

This work explores his bodily and cultural relationship with the materials involved, and specific environments found within the local area, and aims to offer others an opportunity for reflection on issues relating to ecology, spirituality and the cultural practices of more traditional societies.

A sculpture may sometimes lead to the production of photographic, performance or video pieces, as a further exploration of their environmental and bodily context (see Photo & Video page). James also welcomes commissions and opportunities to work in collaboration with other artists and performers.
