I am a maker and craftsman working predominantly in ceramics and metal while maintaining a shared approach to craftsmanship and process.
My work is informed by personal narratives, particularly the relationships between people, and between people and objects that hold significance. These stories and connections form starting points for creating pieces that draw from functional objects and jewellery, while transforming them into sculptural compositions.
