Separated into two parts; the top handle, finished in shiny white lacquer contrasts the soft surface and details of the flocked seat. While the white part is square and sharp, everything that is soft has a generous radius at the connection points to emphasize its tactility.Poplar,Flocking,LacquerPage 2blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyg26PourA series of teacups and saucers made entirely of molded liquid plastic. The form is created by a number of consecutive pours against a mold, each one using a different color that creates not only an organic dripping effect, but a clean, layered cross-section as well. These two elements are meant to be in contrast with one another in addition to the glossy surface of the exterior versus the matte surface of the interior.Liquid PlasticPigmentPage 3blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyNesting TablesThis piece was designed with the material metal in mind. In an effort to bring warmth to an otherwise cold material, I designed these nesting tables around the idea of reflective light and color. The tables are laser cut and powder-coated steel. Each table has a colored panel underneath that reflects onto the next table's surface.Powder Coated SteelPage 7blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyStackA series of three stacking stools , each fitting neatly inside the next. The colors used on the flocked surface are derived from the inherent colors of the wood used to create each stool. The fuzzy flocking provides a contrast to the smooth wood on the inside.PoplarFlockingPage 4blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummySpectrumThis piece is a sculptural wall hanging. Made from six units of different colored plexi-glass, and combined to create and enclosed shape . The purpose of this piece is to display colorful cast shadows onto the wall that constantly shift depending on the amount and direction of the light source.AcrylicStainless SteelPrintsPrintsThis series of silkscreen was made in conjunction with a group of furniture objects. Each print describes a different element in one of the furniture pieces, from overall appearance to detailed joinery. Both the brackets and prints fit neatly into the box that was fabricated specifically to house this series. The prints are portable and intended to be rearranged.Poplar, Plexiglas, Flocking, Paper, Ink, VarnishPage 10blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyTubesStaring with the painting in the top left corner, each section of color is applied straight from a tube of paint. As you move onto the second painting, the yellow that originates in the first painting now influences all of the tube colors. The yellow is added to the other seven colors to create a new color scheme. This formula continues throughout the series so that each painting is influenced by the next color in the original scheme.Canvas, Acrylic PaintPage 5cabinetblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyCabinetMade from American Black Walnut, this cabinet uses the natural occurrences in wood to determine the function. The knots are strategically placed as door knobs and drawer pulls. The carcass is ebonized to bring out the darker tones of the knot holes. Ebonized Walnut, Natural WalnutPage 6blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyRocksMade at the JamFactory in Adelaide, AU, this series of slip-cast earthenware sculptures was inspired by the landscape on Kangaroo Island. Each piece is glazed with two distinct colors on several of the fascets, while the backsides remain the natural off-white color to reflect the vibrant colors of the pieces near them.Earthenware,GlazePage 8blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyBenchThis bench was designed around the finger joint, which was used to join each individual piece together to make a completed furniture object. Using the graphic quality of the joint as an inspiration for the form of the bench,this seating piece is both dynamic and simple.Hard MaplePage 11blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummyPage 1Page 2Page 3Page 7Page 4PrintsPage 10Page 5Page 6Page 8Page 11ExhibitionsPage 1Page 2Page 3Page 4Page 1blank dummyblank dummyblank dummyblank dummy
