He lets them express themselves rather than submerge their nature within a form. Frequently you see where James has explored their properties, juxtaposing smooth and rugged surfaces. “When I’m creating my works, above all else at the beginning I concentrate on form” says James. “Then I’ll integrate the materials to create light, colour and texture to create a dynamic unity.” Jubilation Heaven and Earth
