Rather than constructing space from separate parts, material is removed until space grows from the block itself. The resulting forms occupy an ambiguous position between solid mass and open lattice, at once dense and permeable.
The sculptures are made entirely through subtraction. Cavities are opened, channels are extended, and connections are left intact until interlinked volumes appear within the original block. The structure that emerges is therefore inseparable from the material it is carved from. The sculptures do not represent chains or lattices; they become them through the continuous carving away of wood.
This reductive process is exacting and…
