I strive to create sculptural objects that emit a sense of stillness and intelligence, for the user to fully engage with their materiality, to appreciate every angle, to notice the forms in depth, and wonder whose mind and hands have crafted them. What stories do these people who made them carry, and how did the making process look?

I use the ancient technique of burning wood that makes every object unique and textured, to allow the material to tell its own story in the grains that become visible. I believe we as humans are drawn to natural materials; they have the ability to ground us deeper in our true nature if we allow them to in a world that is falling out of touch with increasingly interactive technology.

When I design an object and craft it with the artisans I collaborate with, we put our whole selves into it, which is a deeply meaningful human activity. I wish to see the user fully engage with the workmanship, fully grasp the power of attention, and be able to appreciate it with mind and soul.
