Studio/Lab — ongoing

This page is a running record of my studio — a small selection of what I photograph as the work develops. I photograph it because the work doesn’t arrive in clean stages — it accumulates. Studies, notes, tools, tests, failures and discoveries all sit together. My studio holds its own logic.

I use the studio walls as an evolving sketchbook. Paper experiments, handmade tool experiments, drawings, life drawings, colour notes and fragments stay up in view, and that daily encounter matters: what I see when I walk in often informs what I do next — or what I don’t do. The studio is a thinking space as much as a making space.

I work through return and revision: making, living with the work, then coming back to shift it. Time is not a backdrop to the practice — it is one of the materials I work with. The long hours, the repetition, the pauses, the small adjustments that change everything. The studio is where I learn what I’m doing by doing it, and where the work teaches me how to look.

Harmony is one of the questions I keep circling — not as polish, but as the moment something holds. I call the method grasping: each attempt opens the question further rather than closing it down.

This page is less a portfolio than a dedication to the studio as a site of sustained enquiry.
