Studio Process & Materials

My studio is a laboratory for exploring what bamboo can become through structure, sculpture, and experiment. It is a space of creating, testing, and discovery, where whole poles, offcuts and bamboo products are used to investigate the material’s remarkable expressive range.

I am interested not only in bamboo’s structural possibilities, but in its character. It carries its own energy and often seems to suggest directions of its own. My process involves tuning into that inherent tendency, allowing the material to guide form as much as I impose it.

Alongside experimental structures and sculptural studies, I also create shrines and idols from bamboo that function as a kind of studio furniture. These works are a way of paying homage to the material itself — to the spirits, moods, and presences that bamboo seems capable of evoking.
