Often when working in the studio, there are moments when unanticipated forms materialize. This occurs by imagining a different function for a specific component or playing with arrangements of simple shapes.

Undefined is an object designed for interior space. It could be a decoration or a furniture depending on the users' imagination. In this object, I’m trying to blur the boundaries between art and design, furniture and sculpture. By naming it “undefined”, I’m trying to eliminate the limitation of definition and free the reading.

I’m a grocer. My dad is a grocer and his dad was a grocer. I’m also a ceramicist. For years I tried to separate the two. I thought to master one, I had to surrender the other. It was only when I began to embrace both, I could truly grasp the duality within ceramics itself, as both utilitarian and artistic. As physical commodities with spiritual proclivities. Objects as dimensional as myself.

Working predominantly with large-scale abstract ceramic sculpture, small scale prototyping has become an integral part of my process. It is during these shifts in scale that vital information is revealed.

Pliny the Elder, the Roman author and naturalist, may have started the myth of ostriches burying their heads in the ground when he wrote that the birds “imagine when they have thrust their head and neck into a bush, that the whole of their body is concealed.”

This chair was designed for two primary sitting positions. In one position, the user can lounge on the form using the "handle" as a backrest. In the other position, the user rides the form as a rocking horse. This object is designed for enjoyment and play. It showcases paper pulp construction.

Through investigating personal, collective and architectural interior spaces, a more vivid insight into the formation of exteriors can be deduced. This work bore witness to numerous examples of gerrymandering and gentrification around communities ignored by wielders of disproportionate power.

My interest lies in the preservation of stark weight, mass, and their sculptural convergence into furniture. Emphasizing opposing ideas of gradual growth and weathering, my works often present a slow storyline along an almost tectonically scaled timeline -one of quiet, humble, and earnest growth.

Form is a response to the infinite. This sculptural object is a physical response to the inherent beauty of the naturally occurring phenomenon of smoke rising.
