About

---

Naturally occurring fractal elements of spirals, branches and subtle curving lines are all very common motifs in my work. I draw a lot of inspiration from the fine linework of the art deco and art nouveau movements, integrating the spirals and patterns I find in nature into metal and glass. Working primarily in copper and brass, I strive to take a closer look at the world around me and at the organisms that inhabit it. I am fascinated by the small occurences in nature that often go unnoticed or unappreciated. I am captivated by the things I find on my walks, from fallen insects and oddly formed leaves, to tree roots that have twisted their way through concrete and old fences. These inspire my work, as I investigate the life cycles and incredible metamorphosis of insects such as dragonflies and moths, as well as death and its place in an ecosystem.
