Furniture
We share our world with objects: they join us for meals, they hold us as we rest. More than simply the background of our lives, they are some of our most interesting storytellers.
My furniture expresses a dynamic interplay between my proclivity for deliberate slowness, curiosity and storytelling with my obsession for symmetry, function and elegance.
How are our senses drawn into a narrative arc of line and the storying of form?
Sculpture
Who are we when we offer ourselves to real conversation with the more-than-human world?
What might we create when we allow ourselves to be moved by this land?
Banksia has will. Huon allows. Blackwood has many faces. Casuarina likes to be heard.
How can we respond to the wounds of our planet with offerings of healing to the strong wide story that holds us?
I am drawn in by the whispers of this country. Guided by them, exploring how to connect in creation as a guest living on this land. It is a slow, at times awkward, navigation in curiosity, unfolding towards deepening intimacy.
Can we make space for the whispers of soil and seasons, serotiny, photosynthesis and decay?
Mezzuzot מְזוּזוֹת
It is an ancient jewish tradition to adorn a home with a verse of sacred text. The ‘shema’ is handwritten on parchment and held within a vessel fixed to a doorframe. A mezuzah blesses and protects a home. These pieces are a reflection of my jewish identity, my connection to this land and my expression as a craftsperson.
Ritual roots us to the past and invites us into the present moment.
