FUTURETRO…
Interactive sculptures inspired by the intricate beauty of nature and my infinite inner visions. Handmade with love… Expressing the energy that flows through my soul, with the intention of spreading positivity.
I enjoy the extra dimensional aspect of integrating electronics and lighting in my work. This enables my sculptures to become interactive with the observer; capable of changing their shapes and colours, using an array of technologies. Some of my work is also sound responsive, creating interactive, audio-visual installations.
Through my creative practice I have explored a diverse range of topics, including: the visual representation of sound, chromatherapy (colour therapy), sacred geometry and fractals.
My recent work includes a range of geometric wall sculptures and illuminating tables (the Relaxaa range) that aid relaxation and meditation, thereby improving wellbeing. All pieces in the Relaxaa range are created using specially designed patterns, that are scientifically proven to relax your brain; in conjunction with chromatherapy (colour therapy), whereby coloured light is utilised to help induce states of serenity. All Relaxaas have internal Smart control systems, allowing interaction via an app and optional integration into any Smart home. The pieces can also access the microphone in any smartphone or handheld device, transforming the sound that is sensed into a synchronised audio-visual display.
The FUTURETRO style blends futuristic thinking with the charm of retro design.
‘Futuretro’ [pronounced future-retro] symbolises a harmonious equilibrium. A balance of dualities. Where the future meets the past. Flowing in the infinite now…
