Green Monkey
Cobblers Cove, Barbados
(Scrap Metal 2017)
At the Cobblers Cove Hotel in Barbados stands James' first international commission: a curious green monkey striding through Caribbean vegetation. Sculpted from scrap metal, then coated in bronze with a verdigris patina, this piece showcases James' distinctive style while embracing local influences.
The sculpture has become a beloved feature among hotel guests and staff alike. Barbados, being an island, has a rich tradition of resourcefulness, particularly in repurposing scrap metal. This aspect of local culture is reflected in the sculpture, rooting it firmly in its Caribbean environment and serving as a testament to the island's ingenuity.
