Description

Forged from molten metal, this sculptural head stands as a meditation on vulnerability and defense. The cast surface is intensely textured, with shards and folds articulating the features in raw, uneven relief. Pockets of voids and punctures break through the structure, suggesting erosion or wounding. Here, skin becomes armor, and armor becomes skin — a protective shell that is at once decaying and enduring. These ruptures read as testaments to passage, damage, and resilience, tracing the fragile boundary between shielding and exposure. Frozen in its moment of corrosion, the form embodies a restless negotiation between strength and fragility.

 

The travertine and steel base are included. Head can be placed on top of this base or presented on its own without the base.

Head is a 1 of 1 piece, due to the complicated casting procedure the mold was destroyed in the process of un molding this piece. No other cast was made.

About Dieppa Design Visit Showroom →

I came to sculpture and design through painting, carrying with me a deep sensitivity to gesture, surface, and composition. That painterly sensibility stays close as I work in wood, metal, and other raw materials. Each piece feels like a canvas in space, where movement and material spark a kind of conversation. My practice is restless. I am interested in creating forms in which various identities and extremes coexist: dense and spare, industrial and handmade, rigid and relax, systematic and random. I test how far a line can stretch, how a plane might sag or split, how a form can breathe instead of stand frozen. Each project feels like an improvisation, guided by urgency and curiosity. I’m willing to let things feel unresolved or uneasy, trusting that tension to sharpen the work. It comes from a painter’s memory of color and touch — carried forward into three dimensions, always moving, always searching.
