My work is driven by a desire to transform material into presence.

I create objects that are worn, but not designed as adornment. They are constructed to hold weight—physical and perceptual—inviting awareness of the body rather than disappearing into it.

My practice begins with attention to: light, contrast, texture, and the inherent qualities of metal and stone. I am drawn to the tension between these materials—the way metal can be destabilized, reformed, and accumulated, and the way stones hold and modulate light within that structure.

The process is not fully predetermined. It develops through a sustained negotiation between intention and material response. Control is applied, then relinquished. Form emerges through cycles of pressure, adjustment, and refinement.

Each piece evolves over time. Surfaces are extensively worked, edges are resolved, and structure is clarified—without erasing the conditions of its formation.

Rooted in traditional metalsmithing but oriented toward contemporary form and freedom of experimentation, the work exists between discipline and deviation, precision and instability.

No two outcomes are the same.

What remains is a singular object—shaped through time, resistance, and restraint.
