Maker's statement

This piece was a pivotal moment in the direction of my work 3 years after moving to London and starting up a workshop in Hackney Wick, I started to learn 3d software and return to making objects in wood rather than combinations of materials. I was also keen on making statement pieces and include narratives about the making process and how we have lost touch with certain aesthetics. The combination of these elements and many more including feeling content in my life resulted in the Anne Table.
