Powdered Glass, Hand-Dyed Sand
A layering of glass, sand, and silica, the made-to-order coffee table consists of gradients of tones and textures suggesting layers of earth, mountain ranges, otherworldly skies and bodies of water. The hand-dyed granules are stratified with delicate veins and ombre effects to create an organic piece of furniture as escapism.

White Cement, Copper BB
Composed in a language of landscape-oriented abstraction, the made-to-order coffee table is cast from hand-dyed white cement and copper bbs. Poured by hand over the bb pellets, the white cement merges the materials to create an effect evocative of a mountain capped in a mass of snow and sky.

Hand-Dyed Cement
The Ghost dining table is cast entirely in cement. With an initial form carved in foam by a robotic arm, layers are poured to create the large-scale, heavy, and pristine piece to emulate the gravity of nature and with the softness of carved cement and snow.

White Cement, Hand-Dyed Sand
A contrast of smoothness and textured striations, the made-to-order table is cast entirely from hand-dyed cement and sand. Packed by hand within the smooth cement, the varying blue and black granules form an organic texture to contrast the structural shape reminiscent of a wintry horizon.

Powdered Glass, Hand-dyed sand
Through a layering of hand-dyed sand, the painting is organically textured and strikingly unadorned. The mass of deep blue granules, an homage to Yves Klein, come together in a terrain-like abstraction.
