Sculptor James Wright has always had an affiliation with Aotearoa’s natural Beauty.

Residing in the Clevedon Valley surrounded by nature, he is inspired by his environment.

James prefers working with mixed mediums such as Corten Steel, Copper and Rock. These materials can defy expectations taking on a new form that hint at the warmth and delicate design of nature.

Created with a strong emphasis on design, his work reflects the hands on process of transforming raw materials into contemporary sculpture.

James is always looking at new ways to explore his creativity.

James attention to detail and willingness to work with his clients, finds him regularly being commissioned.

Creativity is a journey of exploration and discovery.

The beginning of a sculpture may be the type of medium, a vision sketch or just playing.

Using the elements to exploit and reveal the essence of the material.

My pieces gain an organic sensuality, creating a presence in our environment of Aotearoa.

As an Artist I endeavour to create objects that are elegant yet simple in form and have a sense of belonging and presence.
