At the age of 17, James Lake was diagnosed with bone cancer that resulted in many months of chemotherapy and the amputation of his right leg. It was also at this time that James developed his passion for art and chose to sculpt from a non-traditional sculptors material: cardboard! James believes in art for all; art beyond race, gender, age, ability and disability. His life-sized and beyond paper sculptures are detailed and realistic, and have popped up in public spaces all over the UK and Europe. www.jameslakesculpture.co.uk
