Inspired by what I see, by what I find and by what finds me, I seek to reveal the hidden life, the purest essence, and the deeply inherent beauty of my motives and the objects I work with.

An architect by training, I appreciate the perfect harmony, elegance and efficiency of nature’s structures. By taking an object out of it’s ordinary context, my aim is to emphasize its unique expression of a creator spirit, and to make the viewer aware of its aesthetic values beyond the uses normally reserved for it by humans.

Working with bones in particular is a way for me to express my love and gratitude to the creature having given its existence to help us sustain our own
