I am an artists, designer, and strategist with a background in architecture and the performing arts. My work is deeply invested in material and process, using physical manipulations to discover form, space, and structure. I try to establish a conversational relationship with the material or problem at hand by assuming a state of pointed listening. As in any conversation, curious attention is revelatory and thereby creative.

​

I see greater value in the surprising paths of ideas in exchange than in pure concepts. Much of my work  is helping others realise their ideas, finding words, techniques, and systems that draw out something greater than anticipated. In collaboration or in pursuit of my own discoveries, I seek the fulcrum of conversation.

​

I often work at the limits of certainty, sometimes deliberately mishandling a material or tool. This bodily discovery, I hope, extends as a physical sense of curiosity to the audience. I aim to evoke a childlike openness, because our adult abandonment of wonder is not evidence of exhausted possibilities, only settled expectations.

​

I believe that public artwork should be concerned with nurturing a conversational relationship with reality. For The Real is an endless unfolding that exceeds perspective. To me, the best conversations approach this sense of reality through an act of reciprocal curiosity. I dream of a society devoted to the continual unveiling of reality and see that art and science are of one heart in this.

​

With my wife and two children, I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, the ancestral land of many peoples and a city in the throes of adolescence, awkward, charming, and full of unrealised potential.

​

I am always on the lookout for new collaborations. Please get in touch to tell me about your project.
