    A Murder of Crows

    This project is currently in the development/concept stage.

    A celebration of intelligence, community, and mystery.

    This installation will consist of a series of 5 uniquely posed large sculptures showcasing the unique traits and characteristics of our corvid friends, the crow — from tool-making and dialects to memory and ritual, this installation teaches us about the amazing world around us.

    Each piece blends layered wooden design with light, sound, and interactive technologies such as augmented reality and facial recognition. Together, they form a conversation about empathy, connection, and the shared intelligence that links humans and the natural world.

    The Foragers Escape Room

    This project is currently in the development/concept stage.

    An interactive pollination adventure inspired by bees and wildflowers.

    Designed to bridge distance and reduce isolation for people living with chronic illness, the installation creates meaningful connections between remote participants and those experiencing the artwork in person. Together, they collaborate to solve tactile puzzles, exchange “nectar” clues, and bring the meadow to life.

    Part science game, part art installation, A Forager’s Escape Room explores cooperation, communication, and the fragile balance between humans and the ecosystems that sustain us — reminding us that every act of foraging can also be an act of connection.

  • Artwork for the Wayfinding project, featuring two intricate moths, an eye in the sky, a cloud, and stars on a dark background.

    Wayfinding

    At the centre of Wayfinding are two celestial companions — a wooden moth and its luminous moon.

    The moth rests on a wooden base, its body capable of slowly turning (270°) and tilting (45°) in graceful arcs as though searching for its guiding light.

    The moon, faceted with ninety-two geometric cells, glows softly in response to touch. Eighty of these can be awakened by the audience, each one holding light, sound, and motion within its surface.

    Through touch alone, visitors shift between modes of play and expression — changing colours, pressing to reveal hidden hues, creating music, guiding the moth’s movements, or watching as the pair drift together through cycles of light and stillness.

    Like its namesake, Wayfinding is both instrument and compass — a quiet dialogue between seeker and guide, between human gesture and the rhythms of nature.
