architectural commissions

My commissioned installations are built in close dialogue with architecture. Using simple materials such as cotton rope, chain, and bespoke anchoring systems, I create suspended forms that respond to light, movement, and the shifting rhythms of a space.

Each piece begins with a clear logic — parallel lines held in tension, anchored in gentle arcs — and evolves into a larger structure that settles into its architectural surroundings. These works are designed to offer moments of quiet attention in the flow of everyday environments: lobbies, stairwells, workspaces, and communal courts.

Foret moire

AmazonStudios, Culver City, California, 2020

Forêt Moiré is a site-responsive installation composed of 1/8” thick cotton rope and carbon chain, anchored into the architecture of this converted warehouse. A precision-anchored field of parallel strands creates a gently swooping canopy, carving out a lounge space in AmazonStudios’ Culver City headquarters. The forms shift with each angle of view, catching light, creating a moiré effect, and tracing fluid motion through the space.

nxt lvl

Enlisted Design, Oakland, California, 2017

Nxt Lvl is a multi-dimensional installation spanning two floors and 5,000 square feet of Enlisted’s Oakland headquarters. Overlapping planes of color begin as single lines in the first floor lobby before sweeping across walls and ceilings as they draw visitors through the space. Tightly spaced linear strands of nylon paracord twist and change direction as they bump off thresholds, echoing rays of light or trails of movement in a nod to the dynamic nature of the company’s workforce.

dark//light

Twitch, New York City, 2020

Alternately spaced vertical lines of 3/8”-thick cotton rope create soft gradients of density, forming a quiet veil that shifts from solid to transparent as one moves around the dynamic and ever-shifting boundary of this multi-level stair enclosure for Twitch’s new sky-scraping headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. Graduating from black on the lower level into white at the top, the hand-painted colorshift of the rope heightens one’s perception of transiting within the space while emphasizing vertical movement.

wavebreak

Rivian Automotive, Irvine, California, 2020

Wavebreak is a suspended sculptural installation composed of hundreds of evenly spaced strands of hand-dyed cotton rope. Through calibrated tension and strategic anchoring, individual parabolas gather into a series of gentle waves. The work plays with light, movement, and spatial rhythm, transforming Rivian’s atrium into an airy, drifting landscape.

approach

Each piece is developed through close collaboration with architects, engineers, and construction teams. I work through iterative, rule-based methods—adjusting tension, spacing, and anchoring to allow the material to settle into its own form.

The result is an installation that is structurally sound, visually calm, and integrated into the fabric of the building.

early projects

My earliest rope-based commissions largely revolved around dimensional murals and privacy screens before expanding into 3-dimensional space.
