Love block

I wanted to bring overprinting into sculpture. In screen printing, it’s the moment when layered inks overlap and create new colours. With translucent acrylic, light does the mixing. That’s how these Love blocks came to life.

13 x 13 x 6 cm / 5.1 x 5.1 x 2.4 in Translucent prints encapsulated in a highly polished clear acrylic block. Can you see the L-O-V-E letters?

Apex

This sculpture captures a moment of suspended motion—an object seemingly shaped by speed, reflection, and internal pressure rather than by gravity. It exists less as a fixed mass than as a frozen vector. The sculpture maintains exceptional stability.

Self standing stainless steel sculpture. Suitable for both indoors and outdoors.

Enormous Hug

A reflective, fluid form that balances abstraction and figuration.

At first glance it appears as a star-like curve, but with a closer look, a joyful figure emerges — arms outstretched, head tilted skyward, striding forward as if to embrace the world.

Its mirrored surface captures the movement and light of the city, allowing people to see themselves within it.

Playful and inviting, the sculpture radiates warmth and connection, becoming a beacon of belonging.

Engineered to sit directly on the ground, without a base or visible fixings, it appears to walk alongside pedestrians as part of the crowd.

A Shooting Star

We had just finished a bedtime story when something bright streaked across the sky outside the window. We ran out and found it resting on the shed’s roof — a shiny, golden star. It must’ve gotten very hot while falling to Earth. We watched as one of its spikes slowly stretched downward, still soft, before it finally hardened in place. We brought it in, and now we have our own shooting star.

HUG A proposal for a monumental stainless steel sculpture for an urban environment.

At first glance, the sculpture appears abstract — a fluid, star-like form. But look closer, and a walking figure emerges. Two of its extensions reach outward like arms mid-stride, as if embracing the world. One leg stretches forward, the other trails behind.

Though it is still, you can feel him moving. He animates in your head.

The top curve arches back, evoking a head tilted to the sky. There is no face, yet joy radiates. The sunlight caresses him. He strides forward, open to whatever lies ahead — embracing it all.

He is monumental.His feet are on the ground, his head in the clouds. He is reflective — the urban landscape moves through him.
