​
Certain formal motifs recur across multiple works within the Apophenia series, the most prevalent of which resembles the letter “U,” or the Greek letter upsilon. At the outset of the series, I maintained a deliberate commitment to employing forms and figures devoid of fixed or predetermined meaning. The upsilon form was selected primarily for its compositional harmony; however, its historical association with dualistic conceptions of human nature, as articulated by Pythagoras, remained an implicit consideration.

'Exploring perception, space, and materiality, this work investigates how familiar objects can be transformed to challenge recognition, hierarchy, and expectation. Mass-produced objects are reconfigured into unexpected forms, disrupting habitual modes of engagement and reframing ordinary materials within new formal and conceptual frameworks.'

​For an artist, certainly for this artist, IKEA represents a compelling and stimulating environment. If I were currently leading student groups, it would be among the first destinations I would choose to visit. While the quality of the products and the sophistication of the store’s design are evident, what proves more significant is the accumulation of the mundane...

Second Skin / Second Life: Calve 2025
Cardinal Red Studio
Virginia USA 2025 - 2026

Second Skin / Second Life serves as the working (global) title for a new body of work that marks a return to my sculptural origins through the transformation of found materials, specifically packaging waste, into autonomous artworks. Packaging, emblematic of twenty-first-century consumer culture, functions as a protective membrane: goods and commodities, much like individuals within contemporary society, are hermetically sealed within successive layers of containment.

10th Street Studios

This work emerged from a conversation with a fellow artist and tutor, prompted by my description a pedagogical and practical approach which I employ. In recounting how I had previously structured workshops for groups of students, I explained that I would begin by removing a range of tools from storage cupboards, paintbrushes, hammers, pliers, scissors, and other implements typically confined to instrumental use. Rather than instructing students to employ these objects according to their designated functions, I encouraged them to consider the tools themselves as materials.

Crow was among the earliest works to consolidate Unlikely but Not Impossible as a distinct and self-conscious body of practice. It marked a point at which a series of experimental gestures coalesced into a clearly articulated conceptual framework. The sculpture does not merely belong to the project retrospectively; rather, it actively defines its parameters, establishing the operative logic that subsequent works extend and refine.
