My work explores the intricacy and intentionality of the natural world through double-walled forms. Drawing inspiration from organic structures—the veining of leaves, dandelion webs, and floral cross-sections—I carve and pierce the outer surfaces to reveal the suspended spaces between walls. These voids interact with light, creating moments of stillness, depth, and visual tension.
Balancing function and delicacy, each form serves as both a utilitarian object and a quiet meditation on what is seen and unseen. Clay offers a unique responsiveness that allows me to explore strength and fragility simultaneously, reflecting the subtle balance and divine craftsmanship found in nature. Influenced by artists Taketoshi Ito, Eric Stearns, and Will Talbot, my work invites viewers to engage with its multifaceted structure and the space between.
