Metal
Shaped By
Hand.
Bespoke sculpture crafted from stainless steel, Corten, copper, and hardwood. Made to fit its environment, grow with it over time, and feel like it was always meant to be there.

The Artist
Where Raw
Metal Finds
Form
I make sculptures from mixed mediums — mainly stainless steel, Corten, copper, and hardwoods — along with found stone and other materials I come across.
I'm interested in creating pieces that work with their surroundings. I'll often meet clients on site, getting a feel for the space and the people who live there, and try to bring both the environment and their character into the work.
I'm not trying to capture a single moment. I'm aiming to make something that sits comfortably in its environment, grows with it over time, and reflects the kind of forms you see in nature.
"I want the piece to feel like it belongs exactly where it is. That it adds to the environment — or even
creates a new one — just by being there."
