I’m a British-American sculptor based in Central Texas. I work in metal to study how meaning changes under constraint. Each sculpture begins as a question of balance and structure, then becomes a proposition about adaptation: what holds, what yields, and what we can remake without breaking.
In both my individual artworks and exhibition displays, I invite a playful connection with the work. Some pieces are kinetic and respond to touch.
