Human-made objects feel increasingly vital as an artificial future accelerates, eroding something essential to our humanity. In this context, making by hand becomes a form of resistance—an insistence on presence, care, and intention.

My work is grounded in the belief that limitation creates beauty. Where abundance can overwhelm, constraint sharpens. I work through subtraction, resisting the instinct to add, and instead stripping forms back until only what is necessary remains.

After years of hands-on learning and working alongside builders, I returned to Monks Head, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, where I built my studio and continue to design and make.
