My practice brings together artistic research, architecture and material innovation through silicate materials. While it results in objects, architectural systems and public interventions, these are not the final destination but evidence of an ongoing investigation into how silicate materials connect environmental, cultural and architectural systems, revealing new possibilities through specific transformations.

Projects range from experimental materials and architectural applications to environmental systems and companion objects, yet they are all driven by the same investigation: how new possibilities emerge when relationships between materials, systems, histories and forms of knowledge are reorganised.

THE INVESTIGATION

I am interested not only in transformation itself, but in those transformations that reorganise relationships and reveal new possibilities.

Rather than beginning with an object or a solution, the investigation begins by returning to the foundations of a question. Through silicate materials, I explore how relationships between materials, systems, histories and forms of knowledge can be reorganised to reveal possibilities that were not previously visible.

I work with silicate materials because they are one of humanity's greatest material resources for addressing future challenges. Their remarkable capacity for transformation, combined with long-term durability, makes them a powerful medium for investigating how environmental, cultural and architectural systems might become otherwise.

CORE RESEARCH QUESTION

For more than twenty-five years, one question has guided my practice:

What new possibilities emerge through metamorphic transformations that reorganise relationships between materials, systems, histories and forms of knowledge?

This question guides every investigation. Each project develops within a specific set of constraints and is explored through four investigative lenses, each revealing different possibilities for reorganising relationships within environmental, cultural and architectural systems.

INVESTIGATIVE LENSES

I use four investigative lenses to explore the same question from different perspectives. They are not categories of work, but different ways of understanding each investigation. Individual investigations often operate through several lenses simultaneously.

Transformation makes time visible.

History makes relationships understandable.

Materials make relationships tangible.

New possibilities begin with connection.
