Crevice Vase, 2025

In the gaps between bricks, damp, overlooked, quietly thriving, small plants find their way. It is these unnoticed lives, growing in the margins of our built environment, that give rise to the Crevice Vases.

Each vessel begins with the molding of a crevice's negative space, the exact void where a plant might root, where weathering has opened a small world. When scaled up, the hidden landscape reveals itself. It is then molded again in sand, ready for casting. Molten pewter is poured freely onto the open mould, the resulting form shaped by both the maker's gestural movements and the metal's own fluid will. Neither hand nor material leads alone. The cast surface records their conversation.

The cast pewter plates are assembled together, leaning and meeting as though still in the process of becoming. Between them, the crevice is recreated, and flowers are held. The hidden micro-world of the crevice is transformed into something tangible and otherworldly, familiar in origin, alien in form.
