James is an interdisciplinary artist based in Barcelona, exploring the disconnection between humans and nature in modern life, both personally and collectively. His work focuses on the relationship between technology and the natural world, reflecting on how human intervention has transformed the landscapes we inhabit. Modern attitudes and an addiction to technology often deny that we are beings of nature, leading to a growing sense of dis-ease in both ourselves and the environment. Through a range of disciplines, James seeks to invite dialogue about our place within the world, with the hope of fostering a deeper sense of awareness and connection.
