My work explores the subtle relationships between form, emotion, and lived experience. Each piece is an open-ended conversation between material, object, and observer.

In a world increasingly mechanized, digitized, and product-driven, I make work that restores connection. As a craftsperson, I use fabrication to bridge object, viewer, and value. As an artist, I aim to shift perception, even slightly, offering another way to see and understand what we live with.

Rather than presenting a single perspective, I create objects that invite reflection and projection. I’m drawn to polarity and balanced asymmetry, where careful construction meets the unexpected. Through presence, detail, and intentional tool marks, I seek work that resonates quietly yet deeply. Love it or hate it, the worst response for me is: “that’s nice.”
