James is a practising artist and educator who believes that creative identities are formed by understanding, investigating and then taking ownership of techniques and processes. His own work explores ideas of personal identity, inclusion, the 'other' and desire, using textile processes such as print and hand stitch. Drawing underpins his practice, and the act of making is integral to the outcome.
