Natural movement, shaped in wire for the home

My Process

It begins with a mental image

I begin by sketching into an idea — not a fixed image, but a sensation. I pay attention to what kind of form I’m drawn to in that moment. Sometimes it’s a quiet, linear gesture. Sometimes it wants twists, turns, or a lift that feels like wind moving through a branch. I follow the line until it starts to take shape and reveal itself.

Will it tell a story?

From there, I explore whether the piece wants a hint of realism or something more abstract and atmospheric. I let the wire guide me — its tension, its softness, the way it curves or resists. Each decision becomes part of the sculpture’s internal story.

What role will color play?

Color enters early. I think about how light will move across the surface, how shadows will fall, and how the palette will shift throughout the day. Scale becomes a conversation too — how the piece will live in a room, how it relates to the work already in my portfolio, and what kind of presence it wants to hold.

Every sculpture is a negotiation between movement, material, and the natural world. I’m always listening for the moment when the piece feels alive.
