Hairy Mary in a Shell Well stages an encounter between concealment and exposure. An opening reveals the smooth soft luminosity of a mollusk that functions as a self-contained well or basin, drawing viewers into a specific physical and perceptual gesture: to approach, lean, and look inside.

Threshold is a monumental sculpture evoking a standing figure and a fractured gateway, formed of marble dust and Forton, and partially embedded in the earth. It is a ritual object disguised as ruin: part funerary stele, part fertility icon, part ancient antenna. Drawing on apotropaic symbols, chaos magic, and mythological ambiguity, the sculpture stages a dialogue between loss and transformation.
Referencing the myth of Psyche as ongoing dismemberment and reconfiguration, the piece is a meditation on psychic sedimentation.
