I am interested in reinterpreting organic forms, offering a
metaphorical construction for shared human experience. Metalwork and
ornament have a longstanding relationship with the natural world. My
work is linked to this tradition, using the visual language of
nature to present the viewer with an alternate perspective of the
world we inhabit.

Protection, self-preservation, vulnerability, openness,
reproduction, sexuality, growth, aggression, conflict, illness,
decay, life and death cycles are themes I visually engage and
reference. Rather than simply representing the natural world, I
prefer exaggerated, artificial forms that speak of an engineered
biology. My intention is to resist that which is commonly considered
universal or essential, and open a dialogue about what is assumed to
be “natural”.

Passion is contagious! Show us your passion, Show us your work!
