Ceramic Shelters : Transitional Zones between thinking and Making.

Slab built forms from clay slabs that have previously been drawn into and brush marked with slips. Assemble forms then divided into several spatial interiors. Piercings through the surface set up a circulation for light to enter into the interiors. Further firings and more ceramic coatings are applied to further investigate the involuntary relationships that have emerged. These objects are unknowable as they are extracted from the kiln, and as such they act as forms that can take on a theoretical nature, gathering my discursive researches and readings into a performative spatial body.

Urbanism : Fossil Futures~Anthropocene.

Urban Gothic : An Excess Of Changefulness.

The essential auditory experience created by architecture is tranquillity. Architecture presents the drama of construction silenced into matter, space and time. Ultimately architecture is the art of petrified silence. The finished construction becomes a museum for a waiting, patient silence. The silence of architecture is a responsive, remembering silence.

A craft philosophy centers on the thoughtful creation of objects by hand, emphasizing skill, materials, purpose, and the human connection between the maker and the object. It values the process of making, leading to deeper human intelligence and wellbeing, and sees the craft as a means to cultivate virtue and live a more meaningful, slower life. Key aspects include pragmatism, appreciating imperfections (like wabi-sabi), and recognizing that a single problem solved in craft often leads to new challenges, fostering continuous learning.
