Double-Slit Lens ( 2023)
This 50mm lens was designed and fabricated as a continuation of studies into imaging without optics.
A single aperture is replaced with two overlapping perpendicular slits, each with a precisely controllable width.
The sliding blades allow to create both vertical and horizontal slits at a range of widths.

This series looks at identity through presence. The knowledge that despite the ambiguous image the person shown is still undeniably recognisable as themselves.
It is received almost as a memory - a subtle, yet incredibly vivid image. A practiced observation of those close by.

his immersive film installation first takes the visitor on a journey from the emergence of microscopic life in the earth’s oceans, to their ongoing accumulation and transformation beneath the sea floor through to their discovery two billion years later in the form of oil.
The second half of the film documents the ubiquity of plastic products and waste, and the resulting contamination of the world’s marine ecosystem as they break down into microplastics.
Johann Strauss’ The Blue Danube accompanies the film. This waltz was performed at the 1867 Paris Exposition, where the semi-synthetic plastic Parkesine won a silver medal and gave birth to the plastics industry.
The title Kalpa is a Sanskrit word referring to a period of time in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. It spans the creation, destruction, and recreation of the world.

Daisee (2023)
Daisee is an understated yet whimsical chair that offers its friendly support to its user.
Crafted with sustainability in mind, each piece is completely devoid of plastic components and is shaped from a single 3m length of lightweight steel tubing and locally sourced, city felled ash timber — both of which are sealed with a natural protective layer of beeswax that must be reapplied every three months for longevity.

This stool keeps the form simple to explore the process of indigo dyeing as an alternative to oil derived paints.
The shallow curve on top offers a comfortable surface to perch on. A simple joint allows the stool to be easily dissasembled.
Sealed with shellac and bees wax, a continuation of research and design with natural materials.
Counter Clockwise (2022)
Each circle drawn counter clockwise is a refusal of an imposed measure of time. They wander and drift the page and as they flock and overlap, a pattern of varying duration emerges - one that changes, moves and dances everytime it is percieved by eyes that can only capture an instant.
Colored pencil on paper. Series of drawings in varying dimensions.
Largest 4.5m x 2.5m
