Structure as Form

Recent sculptures exploring structure, instability and material behaviour.

Release / elastic tension

Mutual dependence

Projection / composite

Aggregation

Circulation/ Distributed Support

My installations use bamboo as both structure and language – not simply as a material, but as a way of thinking through balance, tension, vulnerability and connection. Working at architectural scale allows forces, joins and improvisations to remain visible, so the work is encountered physically rather than only as image or representation.

Many of the structures emerge through process rather than fixed design. Forms are developed through cutting, binding, weighting and responding to the behaviour of the material itself. Instability, asymmetry and exposed construction are often retained, allowing the internal logic of the work to remain perceptible rather than hidden behind polished surfaces.

Maquettes function as a testing ground for larger sculptural and installation works. Built from small bamboo strips and sticks, they allow structural ideas to emerge through direct experimentation rather than predetermined plans.

Their reduced scale makes the underlying construction more immediate, revealing joints, counterweights and improvised solutions as part of the visual language of the piece.
