Bachelor of Design with Honours

In Cascading Corners, roots ripple into walls and canopies suspend from ceilings. A space within and beyond the edges of an urban apartment, that expands with the breath of the forests of Aotearoa. Through material-led design and drawing processes, slow and speculative installations emerge, creating space for wonder in the flatness of a wall. Spaces where we can remember the roots of the forest, and of ourselves.
