I am an interdisciplinary maker whose work bridges woodworking, textiles, and material research. My practice is rooted in process— honoring the transformation of raw materials through craft, often beginning with the shaping of the very tools required for making. I pay close attention to how things come together.
In candlestand, I forgo hardware in favour of integrated threads and traditional joinery, creating a structure that is both adaptable and easily disassembled. This approach allows the piece to respond to its user, embracing transformation as a core function.
Candlestand draws on references to 17th- and 18th-century tables designed to illuminate their own surfaces, reinterpreting these historical forms through a contemporary lens. My work explores how craft practices carry embedded knowledge—how materials and methods can translate through time, carrying memory and meaning.
