I create artifacts. These are the objects that will be the strange, unexplained relics found in our future.The work plays within and across boundaries of dreamscapes, memories, future questions and the uncanny valley of things are are almost, but not quite, familiar.While these objects feel to be a found historic or future artifact, they are created from titanium, vitreous enamel (glass fused to the metal), and precious metals. Machining and TIG welding are used alongside traditional metalsmithing methods.
