Biography
Through sculpture, installation and sound, James Lewis examines how systems of measurement shape perception and experience. His work responds to logics of quantification that reduce complex realities to data, questioning the frameworks that define relationships among humans, animals and objects. Through spatial interventions and constructed environments, he introduces conditions of instability in which order gives way to uncertainty. Attentive to processes of accumulation and layering, Lewis examines how structures of control assert themselves and erode, opening the way for other modes of relating to the world.
