THE RHINO IN THE ROOM

Each creation retains the animal's natural vitality whilst being totally biological accurate in their appearance. This collection is homage to these animals and the whole animal kingdom which inhabits our planet, as an attempt to reflect and capture the beauty of nature in each living thing"

" The main reason I chose to create a chair is because it is a everyday object something taken as a common and banal in our lives. Whilst considering the chairs base functionality, I also wanted to bring it alive, make it more present and create a stronger link between spectator, the piece and the surrounding space."
