Inspiration for This Work

The concept of Sway originated with an investigation into life in a place where light is almost completely absent - the seabed. I imagined the motion of sea anemones as they gently swayed in the water currents and the "intersection" of their movements if viewed from above. A graphic representation of their continuous motion over time was captured and cast in porcelain and presented in a light box design.

Student Biography

As a multi-disciplinary designer my practice is based on designing objects, furniture and textiles with consideration of sustainability, and merges both industrial and recycled materials with elements of the handmade. My designs evolve through direct engagement with material and processes as exploration, experimentation and reinterpretation is central to my design process. The resulting designs are generally organic in concept and form, and attempt to embody elements of poetry, memory and metaphor as a means to add meaning and value to the piece. My recent projects have incorporated waste material that is discarded by industry or the community, and I have found that the challenge of working with this material fuels my creativity. I anticipate that my design practice will involve working with individuals with a similar passion.
