Each panel is built outward from the surface, using preserved botanicals, metallic pigment, resin, stone and fabric. The finished work stands one to three inches off the wall.
Original one-of-a-kind works. Selected pieces available for gallery placement and commission.
Abstract relief work with no depicted subject. Surface, texture and pigment carry the piece, and the appearance shifts with the angle of the light.
Three bands of oxidized copper, brushed gold and graphite meet at a single crumpled disc of pigmented textile, with a small cluster of green resin set at its centre. The surrounding fields are left plain so that the disc holds the composition on its own.
Four lobes of hardened drapery cross over an etched mandala in copper and acid green. The fabric is stiffened and pigmented so that it holds its folds permanently, set against the flat geometry of the stencilled ground.
Copper domes fall across a marbled ground, growing smaller and more widely spaced toward the base. Each dome is sculpted, baked and painted by hand, then set into poured resin.
Ribbed bands of violet, cobalt and teal on a shaped wooden panel with a tapered profile. A single band of rough aggregate runs along one edge, breaking the gloss of the painted surface.
Built from preserved moss, lichen and mineral. The material is stabilised at harvest, holds its colour, and requires no water or upkeep.
Bands of preserved moss run the length of the panel and part around seams of cut glass in violet and clear. The moss is applied in layers of varying thickness, so the greens sit at different heights across the surface.
Concentric rings of moss wind inward to a core of violet glass. Deep burgundy and olive surround the centre, and a seam of clear glass follows the outer edge along the full height of the panel.
Landscape work assembled from stone, birch, driftwood, glass and resin. The scenes are constructed in shallow depth rather than painted on a flat surface.
Birch trunks carry canopies of magenta lichen above a riverbed of polished stone and cut wood. The trunks are real birch and the canopies are preserved lichen, dyed and shaped by hand.
A canyon seen from rim to floor, with a poured resin sky, a driftwood ridgeline, a waterfall of tumbled glass and a stone arch at the base. The sandstone is shaped and sanded by hand and the tunnel is carved from foam.
A freestanding sandstone arch after Delicate Arch in Moab, built stone by stone against a poured resin sky. The red rock is shaped and sanded by hand, the desert floor is laid in moss running from deep green to sun-bleached, and a climber works the fin at the left edge.
Leaf and branch forms sculpted from clay or bound from fibre, then set against a textured ground.
Every leaf is sculpted and veined by hand in air-dry clay, then laid in a long horizontal sweep across a cracked white ground. A single pale blossom sits at the centre, with the palette running from oxblood through olive to bone.
A canopy of preserved moss in plum, olive and chartreuse above a trunk twisted from jute rope. The root system spreads across the full width of the base, threaded with carnelian, driftwood and river stone.
Common questions about materials, handling and terms.
Moss is commercially preserved with food-grade, non-toxic material and stays colour-fast. It needs no water and no maintenance, and should be kept out of direct sunlight. Resin elements are UV-stable.
Series Two and Three are framed and wired. Series One and Four are on gallery-wrapped canvas or panel, ready to hang. Depth ranges from roughly one to three inches off the wall.
Works can be made to a specified size, palette or orientation. Lead times run four to eight weeks depending on scale and series.
