FORGED FLORA
This series grew out of a mechanism I find myself returning to over and over again. I'm fascinated by the unexpected movement and variation that can emerge from a simple mechanism. With the slightest turn, these sculptures come to life, bobbing, spinning, and catching the light.
Each piece is shaped by the materials it begins with. Through hammering, bending, and reworking brass, copper, and steel, I draw out forms that feel at once botanical and mechanical. No two quite behave alike.
RELICS
Relics are a series of kinetic wooden sculptures made from reclaimed wood and found objects. Each piece explores the histories embedded in materials and how they directly inform the shape of each work. I’m drawn to the marks and imperfections that materials accumulate over time, and the stories they tell.
Through gears and mechanical movement, the sculptures examine the interplay between memory and imagination, remembering and forgetting. The past is neither fixed nor lost, but continually reimagined.
