HABITAT 

This series is a direct response to nature, using a natural material, wood, and the natural process of growth and decay. 

'Angel'


IN THE ROUND
The objects and installations are serene in contrast to their colour that can vary from hues of luxurious brilliance to glowing neon and metal. 

'Quarter Round'

TWIST
I want to address in this series, not just a vocabulary of forms or an exploration of a material’s possibilities, but relationships between physical substance, perception, narrative presence, and the confluence of social, conceptual, and natural processes.

'Twist'
