I create future artifacts.
A relic from a past culture, fragments from a future civilization.
I strive to create works that feel newly discovered, almost familiar… yet impossible. Without using found objects, they should have a weight of history, use, regalness. I create everything from scratch: titanium, precious metals, vitreous enamels. The age, time, and lost history you see have been created by me. These ‘found objects’ have just now come into existence.
