“I laugh at my own jokes. Sometimes I tell them to other people, more often I make them into art,” James says.
“Having spent years working as a scientist, quantifying the world through an objective lens, I relish in exploring the fantastical through a subjective (mostly silly) lens. This series of works represents me exploring the weird creatures that occupy my mind, and bringing them into some form of reality.”
