Kaleido's featured artist - James Lake
James started making sculpture when he first became disabled. He discovered a method of sculpting which allowed him to make large scale work in a non-studio environment - largely using cardboard and paper to make sculpture. The media of cardboard is readily available and portable. When he is working with others the medium can be manipulated to suit all abilities.
