Starting life as an investigation into the possibilities of working with veneers, the vases are steamed and shaped by hand, creating finished pieces that look as though they have been turned on a lathe.

The process of making the vases by hand allows for an element of chance to be introduced. As each vase is hand-sculpted, the nature and behavior of the material play a significant role in dictating how the finished piece will look. The result is a series of vases that emerge from the veneer, each with a unique shape of their own.
