James Fuller
James Fuller (b. 1988, UK) lives and works in Athens, Greece.
Fuller works predominantly in sculpture, but sculpture that can exist in many forms, thin metal skins, wall reliefs, hollow fragile objects, furniture. Pursuing experimental and unstable processes that operate in the sensitive space between industrial and domestic settings—mass produced hierarchies and craft scales.
Where intuitive gestures and pre-existing surfaces combine freely to initiate complex procedures or are folded and stitched into new works that maintain a difficult relationship with physicality. Prioritising physical manipulations of material information transfer, with digital forms existing as simple geometries and dimensions, maps and patterns, defining the edges of the canvas but not the content, which is constantly alive.
Recent exhibitions include The Cart Before The Horse, South Parade, London, 2024; Beyond Fear, Cultural Foundation of Tinos Island (curated by Un Processed Realities) and Portable Elastic Temple, Pet Projects, Athens, Greece, both 2023.
