I create a range of work that is inspired by my joy, curiosity and awe of nature. It is a synthesis of art, design, environmental science, culture and craft.

The five-module grouping references the Bottlebrush Buckeye palmately-compound leaves with 5–7 leaflets and highlights color variation in the leaves. The geometry creates a sculptural form that becomes more animated with light and shadow. The veining on each module when placed adjacent to other modules creates a range of interior patterns.
