His Focus is based in concept, not so much in technique. According to James, staying foucused on the core idea or concept of a piece allows him to not become constrained a certain media. "Steel does not feel like wool, nor look like it. If I am trying to represent an idea that may look and feel like steel or has those characteristics, well then, I better know how to work steel. The same is true of the wool, paint, plastic or anything else I need the characteristics of."
