The Transformed Bell - reimagining the church bell.

Since the seventeenth century, when Pieter and François Hemony mastered the principles of harmonic tuning, the church bell has maintained its familiar form and voice. I work with Royal Eijsbouts, a leading European bell foundry, to reimagine the bell as both a sculptural object and a musical instrument. 

The Japanese Lacquer Series - portrait of a medium.

Urushi — the Japanese word for lacquer — is a medium whose particular properties have given rise to a highly specialised discipline. The Japanese Lacquer Series is developed in collaboration with lacquer practitioners. Each work reveals another aspect of lacquer: its techniques, surfaces, restrictions and possibilities. Together, they form a portrait of a medium.
