In these sculptures on granite, I explore the harmony of forms and the inherent beauty of stone. Each element, uniquely shaped and thoughtfully positioned, builds a narrative of balance and resilience. I invite a tactile experience that transcends the visual; engaging viewers in a dialogue with nature’s enduring strength and beauty. Each piece emanates calm, grounding energy, ideal for enriching any living space.
REVIEW 2024
Almine Rech one of the most prestigious galleries in the world has most recently assessed the choice of stone; and individually per element; to a given piece; is nicely considered; and the colour of stone align with the subject being rendered. Shapes are pleasingly formed and are well planned in overall composition and structure. Size looks generous and the scale is pleasing. Medium is unique for the subject matter and approach; and the process appears well thought out; carefully executed and of good quality. The elements have a nice interplay between one another due to their placement and stone colour variance and the shapes chosen; a purposeful dialogue with cubist still life.
