Collected Moments
Each piece combines collected materials and cast metal, preserving memory and the fleeting beauty of natural form.
Klondyke Corner, New Zealand
This collection is a record of accumulated time and experience, the intersection of memory and material. Capturing experiences and moments through collected stones, shells, and fragments of the Earth, each composition is arranged with careful consideration to the time, place, and encounter of the found material, reflecting the individuality of its elements and the relationship between collected material and intention.
Also exploring the balance between preservation and transformation, where collected fragments are left untouched and delicately framed to reveal new perspectives of material, this collection extends beyond the boundaries of physical form.
Sipi | Bronze Pendant with Ugandan Calcite
A cast bronze pendant with calcite crystal collected near Sipi Falls, Eastern Uganda. The piece entwines molten bronze with natural crystal structure. Suspended within a hand-made prong setting, the refined composition preserves a fragment of place and moment within material memory.
Trace | Pāua Shell and Sterling Silver Necklace
A composition of cast metal and Pāua shell collected in Aotearoa New Zealand. The piece reflects the balance between structure and motion, where intentional form meets the organic flow of molten metal and the natural play of color within Pāua. It holds a dialogue between control and chaos, mirroring the subtle rhythm and intricate pattern of organic creation.
