Artist Statement:

The momentum to create is driven by a curiosity to answer my own “what ifs.” My love of metals and the processes allows the work to become rapid, presenting me with infinite possibilities. I enjoy exploring the potentials of design, materials and their properties, along with the influence of my own personal aesthetics, which is strongly affected by pattern, texture and the play between positive and negative spaces. From these discoveries and the finished pieces, I create a visually stimulating and tactile experience in which I start the next process of asking myself “what if ?”
