Megan James is a British-American multidisciplinary artist studying ideas around prediction and persuasion with a focus on survival and spirituality. Channelling her background as an archaeological illustrator and archivist, James uses photographic scanning as a tool for both material analysis and a method of interference, posturing familiarity by obstructing the view. The work documents a retracing to origins, breaking down the steps that make up a movement, instigated in times of crisis when temptation for reverse action is at its peak. James has previously exhibited in London, Los Angeles, Rhode Island, Berlin, and Amsterdam, and is currently in the MFA programme at Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating in 2026.
