My wooden sculptures are hand-carved, original designs that try to be elegantly simplistic while still remaining approachable and inviting.

I am concerned with creating safe, protective spaces that one could metaphorically crawl into. In each piece I try to explore different aspects of the need to conceal, whether that is making a soft, sheltering environment, or a space that explores growing confidence - where the insides are no longer protected by a door, but by ‘shadow sticks’.

Ancient, enigmatic objects, whose precise functions are no longer known, inspire the forms as I try to instill my pieces with the same enigmatic qualities found in my source material. This is essential to the work, as it is the intrigue created by vaguely familiar (but at the same time alien) forms that motivates the viewer to investigate the insides of the pieces, and so discover the fragility of the insides.

These influences combine to create work with a vague sense of unreality that still retain a comforting familiarity, which provokes an urge to curl up inside one, and take shelter form the world.
