Grounded Light
This collection explores the relationship between light, form, and rhythms found in the natural world. Each lamp begins as a sculptural object before becoming a functional source of warmth and atmosphere. Influenced by erosion, weathering, shifting landscapes, and the subtle patterns found in nature, the forms balance softness with structure and movement with stillness. Openings and carved spaces create moments of breath and pause, allowing light to interact with the form in unexpected ways. Tactile and meditative, these pieces reflect light and form as a reflection of human experience. Just as the way the forms influence the light, the experiences that shape our lives influence how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Accumulated Light
Through this interplay of earth and light, I explore how perspective shapes our understanding of the natural world, reminding us that even the most familiar forms hold complexities that only become visible when we take the time to look closer. The sculpture form reflects the tension between stability and change, permanence and transformation. From a distance, its organic forms create a sense of balance and unity, while closer observation reveals intricate variations in texture, color, and surface. These details invite a more intimate engagement with the material, suggesting that the natural world reveals its complexity through careful attention. The contrast between the grounded, earth-derived ceramic and the ethereal quality of light reflects my interest in how nature can simultaneously embody strength and fragility, simplicity and complexity.

Driftline
Inspired by the meeting point between land, water, and sky, this lamp pair explores movement held within grounded form. Fluid glazes settle into layered textures that resemble sediment, weather patterns, and softened terrain. The pieces exist between intention and surrender, suggesting that the most enduring forms, both in nature and in life, are shaped through gradual change.
Root Passage
With its layered vertical grooves and open central forms, this lamp evokes the feeling of weathered bark, exposed roots, or pathways carved slowly through stone and wood. The sculptural base carries a sense of grounded movement — organic yet architectural, heavy yet open. This piece reflects the networks that sustain growth, reminding us that the strongest foundations are often the ones hidden beneath the surface.
