Sculptor working in quarried stone and fired clay — slow objects made one at a time in a small studio in Ghent.
Recent · Stone
A series of standing forms cut from a single block of blue limestone, finished by hand so the chisel marks stay visible in raking light.

Each piece is worked from the outside in, with no maquette and no cast — the final shape is found in the stone rather than imposed on it, which is why no two in the series resolve quite the same way.
Recent · Clay
Thrown and hand-built vessels in unglazed stoneware, fired dark in a small gas kiln and left raw so the clay body reads as itself.

The clay work began as a way to keep the hands busy between stone commissions and has slowly become its own line. Pieces are sold in small batches a few times a year, usually unannounced, and the glaze tests that do not make the cut are kept on a shelf by the door as a record of what did not work and why.
Selected work
A short edit of finished commissions from the last few years — private pieces, two public installations, and a small object made for a friend.




Commissions usually begin with a visit to the site or the room a piece is meant for, then a long stretch of drawing and a rough model in plaster before any stone is cut. Most take between three and six months, and a few have taken longer than that; the studio books a season ahead and keeps the list deliberately short so that each piece gets the time it needs rather than the time a schedule allows for it.
Studio & contact
The studio takes on a handful of private and public commissions each year. Send a short note about the piece, where it will live, and roughly when you need it, and I will reply within a week with whether it is something I can take on.
