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 often responds to a specific place, offering an opportunity for reflection on the strands of history, ecology and industry woven into a landscape.





James welcomes commissions to respond to particular landscapes and environments, from nature reserves to museums, and opportunities to work in collaboration with other artists and performers.
