James Grossman (b. 2001) is a London-based sculptor whose practice explores the intersection of emerging technologies and nature’s hidden systems. Drawing from his background in Product Design and a deep fascination with organic form, Grossman creates tactile installations that suspend movement, offering moments that feel like a freeze frame of motion drawn from nature’s rhythms.
His work navigates the blurred boundaries between the natural and digital realms, using simulations and digital craftsmanship to construct speculative environments. Through sculptural forms that echo the patterns, flows, and structures found in living systems, Grossman invites a reconnection to the natural world, reimagined through a technological lens.
