Creativity begins with the ability to see the world differently. Where most people recognise familiar objects, artists often see possibilities waiting to be revealed. A discarded fragment becomes part of a larger story, ordinary materials take on unexpected meaning and the overlooked is transformed into something that invites us to pause and look again. Creativity can be less about inventing the new and be more about revealing possibilities that were hidden in plain sight. It is not the medium that defines the work, but the imagination that allows us to see beyond it.

James Corbett's sculptures are born from this way of seeing. His work explores the delicate boundary between the mechanical and the living, inviting us to reconsider the objects we so easily dismiss as ordinary. Through patience, intuition and an extraordinary eye for form, he creates pieces that feel both familiar and entirely new. In doing so, he reminds us that the creative act is not simply about making something beautiful, but about changing the way we see the world around us.
