NATURAL ORDER

The meeting point of nature and human intervention. The compulsion to add to the aesthetic, or detract from it. A measure of our necessity to control, to catalogue, to possess, even if it undoes nature.

TEXTURE STUDY No 1 - Arbura

This series explores organic, natural surfaces vs imposed structure. The textured surface of a tree divided into 42 modular units serves as the foundation of the work. Each 8 x 8 cm square retains the raw detail of bark, while the underlying materials shift between concrete, wood, plaster, and jesmonite... a contradiction between surface and substance. By translating a naturally occurring form into a grid, a system associated with human order and logic, viewers consider how nature can be reinterpreted, recontextualized, and reorganized. This work reflects an ongoing interest in the way organic elements can be transformed through repetition, segmentation, and material contrast, forming a new language of structure without erasing the original form.

FORMATION STYDY No. 1 Causeway

Causeway is a sculptural exploration of how natural forms can be restructured through systems of repetition and geometry. The series draws direct inspiration from the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, a landscape of interlocking basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity. See how nature, under pressure and time, self-organizes into patterns that appear designed. An accidental architecture. Placed in a recognizable grid, these fragments reference the tension between organic unpredictability and imposed structure. Just as the Giant’s Causeway blurs the line between the geological and the architectural, this series reinterprets the natural world through systems of segmentation, material variation, and repetition. What results is not just a preservation of natural form, but a reassembly that invites reflection on how we interact with and reframe nature.

SILENT SPRING

These forms depict the drive to control and categorize our world. Order produces beauty, crisp and legible, but the same machinations seed corruption. What first reads as clarity begins to strain, to fracture, until the form yields the cost of being made to fit. Nothing holds when you look underneath.  

Orchard relief slice, ordered interior geometry disrupted by rust and surface corrosion.

ORCHARD

This slice is at once familiar and architectural, its ordered segments presenting clarity and promise. Rust intrudes, unraveling that precision into corrosion, appetite into unease. The transformation makes visible the quiet work of entropy, the truth that nothing holds when time and consumption take root. The form falls in the gap between order and order undone.
