Phenomena Collection Notes

 

“Life begins less by reaching upward, than by turning upon itself… a shell carved by man would be obtained from the outside, through a series of enumerable acts that would bear the mark of touched-up beauty; whereas the mollusk exudes its shell, it lets the building material seep through, distilling its marvelous covering as needed.”

-Paul Valéry

This creation from within transfixed me. Could we humans shape form in this way too?

That’s the question that guided me in 2023, resulting in pieces that are abstract yet reminiscent of shells. An innovative process of systematic dipping, peeling and slicing gave birth to sensually smooth exteriors with crevasses and spirals within.

Shelters for the self, painstakingly shaped through subtle accumulation, echoing Nature’s method, while uniquely my own.
