Artist Statement:
My approach to design relies on the interplay between the material and the process.
As I texture, pattern and fold metal to create surface interest, I become aware of possibilities.
Shapes – organic, architectural - emerge, often contrasting sharply with the softer finishes.
This combination of shape and texture creates an unexpected tactile quality.
My artistic satisfaction lies in capturing these often contradictory relationships.
