Studio

“The wheel teaches patience; the canvas teaches when to stop.”
  1. 01

    Throw & carve

    Stoneware and porcelain are thrown on the wheel, trimmed when leather-hard, then fluted or carved by hand.

  2. 02

    Glaze & fire

    Bone, celadon, rose and cobalt glazes are mixed in the studio and fired to cone 10, where each surface finds its own break.

  3. 03

    Layer & resolve

    Oil paintings grow over weeks, built with brush and palette knife, scraped back and painted again until the light settles.

II. About

My practice investigates the friction between transient materiality and permanent form, transforming overlooked domestic artifacts into monumental spatial inquiries. I explore how accidental acts of discarding and destroying can generate unexpected structural frameworks.

Through a rigorous approach to oil painting, a discarded piece of crumpled paper is magnified into a complex tectonic landscape. The painting meticulously documents the paper’s physical properties—its sharp creases, unexpected shadows, and delicate topography—elevating an act of destruction into a permanent monument of form and light. By translating this temporary, fragile medium into the enduring texture of oil on canvas, I strip the everyday object of its disposable nature. My ceramics extend this logic into three dimensions, treating the vessel as a small architecture whose folds, seams and surfaces record the moment a fragile, malleable material became permanent.

Through this dramatic shift in scale, the work forces an analytical slowing-down, turning forgotten everyday ephemera into structural archetypes that invite a deeper evaluation of shadow, materiality, and depth.
