Moving House

In ‘Moving House’, James undertook the ‘transformation’ of a workers’ cottage onto a moving piece of Melbourne’s public infrastructure for Melbourne’s International Art Festival. From an archive of these architectural images, James creates public artworks. These works act as monuments to styles of architecture that are being replaced by ubiquitous townhouses and apartment blocks. As the architectural makeup of the area changes, so does the social dynamics of the community. My works aim to reflect where neighbourhoods have come from, where they are now, and where they are heading.

James’ piece won the People's Choice Award 2015.
