  • James Lethbridge’s Statement

    Drawing upon botanical sources of inspiration, I use the fluid organic aesthetic of hot glass to construct objects which question traditional relationships between sculpture and lighting. In visual translation they can be interpreted as strange or unreal botanical flora - almost 'alien' - and they provide the viewer with a stunning interaction between glass and light.

    Seeking to take my work and aesthetic into the realms of commercial and exclusive lighting, interior design and site-specific architectural installation, I am interested in the prospect of working with individuals and companies, with whom I can explore both my ideas and theirs.
