Orcanica
An ocean in wood and light.
A wooden silhouette rests on brass arcs. Beneath it, light evokes the ocean, changing with human presence and movement. An encounter with the sculpture becomes part of the composition.

Chaotica
The nocturnal dance of a moth.
A winged bog-oak form meets coloured light. The quiet animation intensifies when a viewer “startles” the moth. Chaotica explores chance and the beauty emerging from chaos.
