Based in Melbourne (Naarm) and London, James' conceptually driven practice focuses on the way that cultural and natural forces intersect to shape both landscape and perception. Through critical inquiry and in-depth, site-based research, his practice aims to draw out the geographic and conceptual ‘strata’ embedded in the contemporary context of each location. In doing so, elusive elements of site become a kind of anchor—inviting reflection on contemporary concerns within an active and participatory public realm. This approach creates a kind of living laboratory—one that examines the shifting relationship between geography and human consciousness while questioning systems of measurement.
