The creation of the Bioforms began as a pursuit of a surreal departure from the everyday. What began as one piece developed into a grouping to complete the vision of a drifting community of forms, familial, each with distinct traits and roles within the group. They are at once vaguely familiar and natural, yet unidentifiable.
Created in a pure natural palette of porcelain and undyed fibers supported by wire become a surreal suspended multi-pieced form. This interplay of layers of textured materials and the rigid inner structure create work that feels vaguely familiar, influenced by biology and nature lifecycle and transformation occur.
