The collection explores movement. James works fluidly to curate subtle textures, tones and mark making into a final composition.


James practice is both an exploration and a representation of his mindstate, driven by personal discoveries and self-learning through therapy. His compositions reflect his continual search for balance, between vibrant emotion, but also control and calm.
