Exploratory Bamboo Assemblies

A constantly-evolving series of material experiments with bamboo assembly. The work ranges across structures, maquettes, furniture, and sculptural, exploring how bamboo can be shaped and assembled through both traditional and improvised techniques.

The process involves a wide range of operations: suspension, the use of light and shadow, and structural methods such as assembly, insertion, layering, and combining different elements. Surfaces are developed through processes such as oiling and varnishing.

I use both raw bamboo and manufactured bamboo products in these experiments. Alongside whole canes, materials such as sushi rolling mats and bamboo skewers are incorporated into the work, expanding the vocabulary of forms and often enabling more delicate or intricate constructions.
