A collection of sculptural furniture inspired by nature’s teachings and the rituals of healing. Each piece is created in collaboration with the materials and considers the idea that we have an inner knowing and ancestral memories that can guide us. I have learnt so much from working with natural materials and in many ways see them as my teacher.

Rather than educating myself through traditional methods, it has been the process of learning to listen to my intuition when working symbiotically with natural materials that has generated my work.

This collection is a culmination of my thoughts on the connection between humans and plants and how we should value and heed the lessons they have to share with us.
