His works often feature handcrafted, asymmetric frames, enhancing their sculptural and immersive qualities.
Selected Work
Name: EchoformLenticular wall sculpture composed of angled panels forming a 3D abstraction of the built environment. As viewers move around it, shifting colour and form respond to their position, transforming movement into a temporal experience and revealing how perception and the built environment continuously shape one another.
The painting/cutout is based on a photo from the 1930s when constructing skyscrapers became a strong drive, and the competition to build the world’s tallest building was fierce. I used this image as a symbol of human desire. I replaced the ridiculous-looking hats in the photo with more recent tall buildings, indicating ongoing development and devastation to our environment, using a lone frog to represent nature.
