Surface, site and line

The practice works in three linked materials, chosen to suit the setting: a made concrete ground, the weight of stone, and the precision of machined metal. The same idea can be cast in concrete for one site and cut into steel for another.

Three ways of working

01
A cast concrete disc inlaid with a flowing blue line pattern, a pierced stone at its centre

Concrete and Line

Cast concrete / Inlaid line / Ground plane

A broad, made surface that carries a drawn line across it. Cast in place or in panels, the concrete sets the scale of a piece and holds a flowing, precise pattern that reads the ground of the site.

02
A weathered quarried stone set upright on a circular perforated-metal disc in gravel

Stone

Quarried stone / Carved form / Weight

The weight of a work. A quarried or carved stone brings age and mass that no made material can fake, and choosing the right one, with its own grain and character, changes the whole piece.

03
Chevron-perforated metal panels leaning against a wall in the workshop

Metal Panel

Machined metal / Perforated line / Precision

The precise, drawn edge. Machined and perforated in a repeating pattern, metal panels catch the light and cast shifting shadows through the day. It is where the hand and the machine meet.

Made for your site

Every commission begins on site, reading the light, the surface and the surrounding lines before the first mark is cut.
