In past work, I was interested in making hybrid creature-like objects that reference sea life, microscopic organisms and geology. The tactile nature of the work was an important part of my process, the pieces were meant to be held and interacted with by the viewer. Through the creation of these works I was investigating the process of wood carving, mold making and bronze casting.
