Images, surfaces, fragments, architectural situations and clay bodies gather impressions of encounters: bodies touching environments, materials responding to forces, spaces becoming atmospheres, forms emerging and withdrawing.

Making is understood less as the execution of an idea than as an attentive ecology of becoming. A photograph may hold an encounter that later reappears in clay; a drawing may become a spatial proposition; a painting may register an atmosphere that returns through ceramic surface; a ceramic body may withdraw an earlier spatial proposition while keeping it available for another encounter.
