Urban and industrial remnants recur in the work. I am drawn by their ambiguous past and circulation. Their incorporation is meant to shed light on their uncertain status.
At the core of the work lies an interest in process as a form of knowledge. This extends beyond objects into the design of shared workspaces. They are intendend as environments that support exchange and collaboration.

Glaze—historically both a surface treatment and a form of containment—becomes a method of material disclosure. In the kiln, chemical residues react with heat to reveal the hidden compositions of the sites they came from. The iron can easily mute the copper. Growing amounts of zinc can show through a perfect gloss, or dramatic crystals and crawlings. Each tile becomes a kind of map—one that records the tensions between standardisation, opacity and contamination in the chemical industry.
‘Le Sere’—meaning ‘the evenings’ in Italian—offers a gesture of care toward materials at their end cycle. Through design, industrial residue is amplified rather than concealed, making visible the complex and essential interdependencies that define the chemical sector.
