Orbital Series
The focus for this new project is opposites; combining the simplicity and precise nature of geometric forms with organic textures allowing nature to take control over time. I use traditional techniques to manipulate the metal elements, aiming to bring out traces of degradation and humidity. Objects are fused onto carefully crafted rods balancing through space and time, interconnecting present and memory.
