James Shaw

James Shaw is a designer and a maker exploring the material landscape in a hands on way. His work aims to interrogate the material, systemic and formal approaches to the creation of objects. Frequently his work considers the resources around us challenging the notion of ‘waste’ to create new beautiful materials. He is probably most well known for his work with waste plastics, hand extruding blobby, gloopy and baroque forms trying to create an unexpected form from a familiar and problematic material.  

James’ work is in the permanent collections of MoMA, The V&A, The Montreal Museum of Art, The Design Museum Ghent and The Museum of London among others.
