Throughout the summer, James Lake will be working on an installation for Barnstaple Library.
Much of James' work uses cardboard as a sculptural material due to its immediacy, ease of availability, reasonable cost and low environmental impact.
James likes to transform the utilitarian and overlooked cardboard box into a sophisticated and elaborate sculpting material, often creating three-dimensional portraits of people and anatomical models. The process and outcomes of making his work have always been intertwined with the practicalities of sculpting with a physical impairment.
