Artist Statement: ‘Bird House’ is a series of luxury designed sculptural dwellings, nestled among the natural foliage. Each piece is custom built and sustainable, designed to support year-round nesting. Individually thrown and hand built in ceramic, the forms offer practical comfort, cool in summer, warm in winter, while blending function and beauty.
