Concrete and Line
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.
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.

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