Over the years James has come to understand and learn the practices of flow and intuition with the arts. He loves all things abstract and flow. With a very individual technique to his art, James lets the pen flow and glide intuitively with an empty mind, in a meditative state creating a story from within. Starting with a dot and expanding through the surface the flowing meditation creates intriguing images and patterns that are worldly, psychedelic, tribal & ethnic.

Huge thanks to James for working with us this year to ramp up and curate our woodland art area.

Working mostly within mural art and digital design, she loves to work large scale as it can transform not only the appearance of a once dull space - yet it can empower a sense of pride for the local communities. Her style reflects the wonderful myriad of similarities within the natural world, along with the expression of playfulness yet peace it emotes within us. Catch Tash alongside Jus Gana and Inkblot in our woodland art area next to The Ecstatic Dance Temple.

Worm Boy’s work is inspired by visions from altered states achieved through meditation, dreams and imaginings. Worm Boy aims to capture and translate the essence of this metaphysical realm which cannot ordinarily be perceived in our everyday lives due to the somewhat limited way in which our brains process the physical world. Using vibrant colours and intricate forms, he builds on top of the tetrahedral structure underlying spacetime to create portals to unseen dimensions beyond the confines of five sense reality.
