SCULPTURE
UNTITLED /2021
steel, acrylic, mesh fabric, light
Throughout my practice the line is blurred between sculpture and design, I want everything I make to serve a purpose while also delivering a message. As I dove into furniture making I did not want this to simply be a design project. Instead it was an exploration into the limits of materials. As I melted laser cut acrylic reading “LOVE” over a metal bowl, it broke again and again, I stitched the words back together with super glue into the lamp shade you see before you. Welding uniform curves together I fought gravity trying to make a chair that floated on rods far too thin to function. In this introduction to furniture I learned a lot about materials and the limitations of your ideas in the real world.

PILLAR/2023
pallet wood, concrete, painted
in collaboration with painter: Nick Holmes
Paintings of found dolls embedded in an architectural concrete pillar. Formed by a mould of repurposed pallet wood, reinforced by reclaimed steel fencing and topped with rusted artifacts.

RESILIENCE /2023
steel, concrete, dirt, sapling
Featuring a cast and molded removable concrete top and pot made from scrap steel, this piece activates the potted plant. No longer does it simply display the plant, it shows the resilience of nature within an artificial human environment drawing on the common occurrence of plants growing through concrete.

SCULPTURAL PRODUCT INSTALLATION /2021
fabric, plaster bandage, cardboard, chickenwire, print In this multimedia project, I was tasked with presenting some designs as they could be seen in the storefront. First I made a belt connecting pouch focusing on ruggedness and functionality, then created these draped keychains that pushes beauty and convenience. In displaying these I added the plaster sculpture and poster to amplify the rugged nature and overall color scheme.

UNTITLED /2020 plywoodIn my first exploration into sculptural practices, I began experimenting with cardboard maquettes playing with balance of form and shapes as well as structural balance. As I worked through this process I began to realize the power of flat materials to be translated to three dimensions. Finally deciding on the ideal orientation, I scaled up and constructed the piece from plywood.
LINES IN SPACE /2021 steel, wire, fabricFurther exploring the relationship and balance between multiple forms I created this sculpture, translating my linework to physical space. This task presented an issue, as it was harder than expected to not only replicate my drawings but add another dimension to the piece. With the green highlights I used wire and sewn fabric, in hindsight I think molded silicone would get the effect I wanted far better.
