A curatorial self-portrait in objects.

This site is an ongoing catalog of objects—ceramics, glass, metalwork, prints— that together describe what I value in form, proportion, and quiet beauty.

About

This site is an ongoing experiment in using objects as autobiography. It is not a comprehensive record of a collection, but a curated selection of works that have, at one time or another, felt essential.

The emphasis is on intimacy, proportion, and the sense that a piece could not be otherwise than it is.
