James Tapscott’s multi-disciplinary practice combines natural phenomena with artificial light to create new experiences within the everyday. His works have been installed throughout Asia, Australia, Europe and the USA, inspiring audiences and winning awards. He is currently working on both temporary and permanent installations in China and the USA. After researching a site in 2023 marked by natural beauty and environmental exploitation, he reflected on mineral deposits, ecological damage and material extraction. This experience led him to develop a site-specific crystal-based meta-material sculpture inspired by a chandelier, using light, water and mineral processes to evoke a surreal, dreamlike presence.
