2023
Inspired by nature and architecture, this series created in 2023, considers their interplay in evoking memories and emotions. Distilling ideas from found moments of unexpected beauty, I combine media – plaster, carving and pastels – to imbue my work with a sense of materiality and allusions to the effects of water and time on our built environment. The Italian expression of “bello bruto”, was ever presented as I captured quiet moments that blend scale with intimacy, the masculine and the feminine for immersive contemplation.
