Cardboardist

I work with cardboard because it behaves like a familiar spirit: ordinary, loyal, and willing to become almost anything if asked the right way.
Three cardboard art sculptures.

Artwork

Sculpture

Each piece functions like a quiet spell—an intuitive arrangement of materials meant to hold ideas.

Garden

These pieces invite collaboration with time, water, and the plant itself.

Furniture

Each piece is meant to be used, lived with, and slowly transformed through contact.
