My newest glass installation, Standing Wave, gives the illusion of motion while at rest - 907 chromatic glass hemispheres create a ripple of colour that travels with the viewer, alluding to gravitational waves and alcubierre drives.

Very excited to announce that I’ve won a public art commission in Brussels, Belgium, in the commune of Ixelles.
The Boondael Chapel is a decommissioned church, originally built in the 15th century, which changed forms over the past few generations - the latest iteration built in the 1800’s. It’s currently used as a concert, cultural and exhibition space in Brussels, incubating local and international talent, as a gathering place for creativity in the city.
For this project, I researched secular use of religious architecture in Belgian history, and found that many coastal churches were repurposed as lighthouses. Their spires would draw and guide wayward ships along a perilous coast - their bells replaced with light. I took inspiration from this idea - a lighthouse, a guiding principle, the transformation of light and sound harmonics.
Formally, I looked to fresnel lenses, used in these beacons to refract and disperse light, in doing so I created a glazing system that captures and refracts a cascading range of colour, especially when viewed in motion. I’ll be recreating 14 windows in the chapel. Fabrication and installation is slated to begin in 2023.
Very excited to announce that WanderArt, curated by Anne-Laure Pingreoun from Alter-Projects Ltd, has won both Fast Company's Best of Urban Design, and Best Pandemic Response for 2021.
In a difficult time, we were able to share some creative work with the city of London, with many thanks to Grosvenor Group.
