About

Objective

Objective

Objective

I maintain a studio practice which utilizes my experience and expertise as an artist, designer, maker and educator. Through the creation of sculptural objects, utility melds with aesthetics. While commissions for both furniture and sculpture are taken, studio output focuses on creative exploration and the relationships between object and place.

Media

Objective

Objective

 

Though much attention has been paid to developing a proficiency in woodworking, my work encompasses a wide range of media including steel, fabric, ceramics and concrete. Attention is paid to the materiality of objects and the places which they reside, both in the mind as well as their physical placement within the world.
