“There is something otherworldly about James’s work, whether it’s for labels such as Nike and Gucci, jewellery or co-creations with Björk on her visual output. “Imaginarian'' par excellence! - Hlín Helga, curator DesignTalks 

At DesignMarch this year, the current status of the world is reflected in the circus and DesignTalks addresses global imbalances and extremes. In the current cosmic chaos, balance is sought and in the ring ideas are kept in the air, genius is fiery and flying is high!The abundance of information, the lack of raw materials, the possibilities of the local environment, reconstruction, the global family and inner peace will be on the palate.

In this seductive magical world, anything is possible, but beneath the surface simmers the unexpected and, at times, the somewhat unpleasant.
