Contemporary artist working in a variety of media to explore a human relationship to space and modernity.

Skystation is a sculpture that also provides some public seating. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human form and encourage looking up at the sky and the panorama that frames it. It is inspired by the LC4 chaise-longue, by Le Corbusier, Perriand and Jeanneret and the modernist idea of form follows function.
Skystations are installed in London at Nine Elms and Canary Wharf and in the permanent collection of MUDAM, Museum for Modern Art, Luxembourg.
