Working in clay and paint, an artist pursues stillness, shaping vessels and surfaces that hold space rather than fill it.
The ceramics are pale and unhurried, their walls thinned to the point where light begins to pass through. Emptiness is treated as the subject, not the absence of one.
Paintings extend the same logic onto canvas, washed fields of off-white and grey that reward long looking. Up close, the surface reveals a quiet history of layered marks.
Emptiness is treated as the subject, not the absence of one.
The studio itself follows suit, kept bare so the work can set the tone. Softness, here, is a discipline rather than a mood.
