… to create spaces that engage the viewer or visitor, thus enhancing and deepening their experience. Their experience of the space is as important as the aesthetic result…how a handrail feels to the touch, how it is shaped for the human hand, how a view is framed for a person’s height, how the home or space reveals itself to us as we walk through it.

 

…to redefine the most mundane spaces or objects.  We become so accustomed to objects in our everyday world that we no longer “see” them…we walk through a door or gate and hardly take notice.  I try to draw our eyes and our senses back to it…whether by giving it a new form or material…to see it renewed. 

 

…to blur the predefined edges between inside and outside.  By firmly defining these boundaries, we tend to feel confined and out of touch with the natural environment.  I attempt to lessen that distinction, to blend the organic and inorganic, the interior and exterior, the manmade and natural.  This reconnects us to the natural and spiritual world, thus elevating our human experience.
