I work primarily with copper and stainless steel, using weight, suspension, and structural logic
to create objects that hold themselves in space with a quiet presence.
Function is part of the work, but it isn’t the whole story. The human body is my ruler and my
measure, but form comes first. Form is what invites the body to engage with the object.
This body of work comes from a love of time spent in the studio. I genuinely enjoy the process of making. The studio is where I think, experiment, and spend long stretches working things out through the material.
Over the years I’ve spent thousands of hours moving and shaping copper by hand. The craft has grown naturally out of that time. Working directly with the material - imagining something and then figuring out how to realise it - is something only a maker really understands.
That process is the foundation of the work.
Manifesto
I work in copper because it resists speed. Every decision is recorded.
Every correction remains a scar. Time can not be compressed or edited out of the process.
It is a requirement of the material.
I make objects at a human scale and at a human pace.
Through human contact, time and intention passes through my hands into the work.
This accumulation is not symbolic. It is part of the structure of my work.
My practice stands in resistance to a culture in which objects circulate faster than meaning can form.
I slow the process until the consequences of pressure and time are unavoidable.
