For the past quarter century the British-born, Los Angeles-based artist has been building a highly technical multimedia sculptural practice incorporating algorithmic lighting, two-way mirrors and metal forms mimicking sacred geometries: three-dimensional objects that give physical form to unity consciousness, the infinite and other secrets of the universe.
To create the works in this collaboration with the Gallery of Digital Assets, James and his studio are re-investigating the five sacred geometries known as the Platonic solids—the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron—each of which embodies the respective elemental powers of fire, earth, wind, the water, and the void.
While collectors can acquire each of the five platonic solid forms as Tier 1 NFTs, they can also choose to “burn” them—literally deleting the tokens from existence—to potentially acquire newer, rarer forms. This burning of NFTs is a direct reference to James’s monumental 2008 sculpture, ΚΘ.
