The Bloom of Bones, Light - now on display with at

Made by hand from ebonized maple and smoke crystal glass. This is the second piece in a lighting pair, first introduced at Design Miami. Originally, both objects were meant to be made and exhibited together, but the slow carving rhythm of maple set its own pace. The second piece wasn’t about duplication - they exist as two forms evolving from each other.

To shape it, I had to reach into body memory - recalling forms through my hands rather than copying them. I prefer this way of working. Instead of repeating, I was discovering the form again. It feels as if the object is growing through me.

Thank you for the opportunity to bring this work to life.
