Upholstered Forms

An exploration of fabric and form through clocks, benches, and other domestic objects.

This collection represents an early exploration of form, material, and function through fabric-covered objects. Working in the mid-1990s, the project included amoeba-shaped clocks, sculptural benches, and a mirror-shelf wall piece, all unified by soft upholstery techniques applied to unexpected forms. The work examined how domestic objects could feel both playful and tactile while remaining functional.
