About

ABOUT

I am an artist  working at the intersection of landscape, sculpture, and architecture. My work explores how we inhabit the land and how form emerges through time, material, and use.

I was brought up in an architectural, hands‑on environment in the Far East, where my father worked on large building projects and infrastructure. From an early age I observed how ideas are translated into physical reality and the complexity involved in shaping the built world over time.

Trained as an artist, my work has been informed by investigations into space, perception, and material process, including cross‑disciplinary exchanges between art and science. These experiences fostered a lasting interest in the interconnectedness of the physical world and the relationship between land, form, and inhabitation.

I consider myself first and foremost a land artist. My primary concern is sense of place — how landscape, history, environment, and human activity shape one another. Across all my work, I am interested in achieving a balanced relationship between human presence and the land, between spirit and matter.

APPROACH

My work begins with the land.

I approach buildings and landscapes as outcomes of ground conditions, material behaviour, and making. Operating in the grey area between art and architecture, form emerges through process rather than being imposed as a preconceived object.

Time and natural forces play a central role in this way of working. Weathering, erosion, growth, and seasonal change are understood as formative processes rather than external constraints. Environmental responsibility is integral to this approach, with landscape processes — water, ground, ecology, and patterns of inhabitation — treated as active forces to work with rather than against over time.

This method applies equally to cultural buildings and more intimate projects. Whether designing a house, a studio, or a public space, the aim is to create places that are grounded in their environment, capable of adapting over time, and able to support inhabitation with clarity and restraint. Responsibility is embedded within the work as a consequence of place, material, and long‑term thinking rather than applied as a separate strategy.
