Shoaling
Sussex, UK
(Scrap Metal 2023)
Situated on the edge of the South Downs, this distinctive sculpture is one of James' first large abstract works. Crafted entirely from reclaimed park fencing, the artwork features hundreds of unique abstract fish welded together to form a flowing shoal.
The sculpture's dynamic shape draws inspiration from three sources: the sea, Maori hooks, and the Pisces star sign. This innovative piece not only repurposes materials but also creates a visually striking composition, reflecting the artist's evolution into large-scale abstract art.
