Folded terracotta and translucent resin concept study

Heatleavesa record.

Designer · Artist · Sculpture-trained. A practice shaped by heat, contact, weight and the memory of touch.

Matter is an active collaborator.

Each study starts with a material question: what can be removed, compressed, folded or left unresolved? The result is less an object than a record of pressure and decision.

A ledger of touch

Four fictional material studies establish the intended art direction. They are visual placeholders, ready to be replaced by documented works.

Drag / scroll

Original concept study of interlocking white plaster forms — S—01 Concept study

Mass

Plaster / carved volume

A weight held open by a cut.

Original concept study of a dark cast-metal ring with an irregular opening — S—02 Concept study

Void

Cast metal / negative space

The absent centre carries the form.

Original concept study of folded terracotta clay and translucent resin — S—03 Concept study

Skin

Clay / resin membrane

A surface remembers every fold.

Original concept study of dark mineral fragments connected by a taut wire — S—04 Concept study

Residue

Aggregate / wire / textile

What remains becomes the work.

Carving

Removal establishes the first boundary.

Casting

A void becomes a tool for repetition.

Assembly

Separate tensions are made to coexist.

Digital matter

Pixels behave as dust, heat and trace.
