Natural movement, shaped in wire for the home
“Flowing”
This gallery represents my current work. These sculptures grew from a practice of exploration — bending wire, following movement, listening for what wants to rise. Each piece begins as a small curiosity, a gesture toward motion, and reflects my ongoing exploration of movement and illumination.
These wire sculptures rise from botanical gesture strands lifting like grasses in shifting weather, catching light in quiet, atmospheric ways. Each piece is shaped by hand, guided by movement, drift, and the subtle language of the natural world.
GALLERY
I shape wire into forms that hold movement, color, and light, creating pieces meant to live intimately in the home.
