Living Sculpture Ecological Testing & Encounters
2026-2027 New proposed R&D phase focused on bioreceptive surface geometries and ecological colonisation. Testing durability, growth and public encounter across outdoor community sites to develop a repeatable methodology for sustainable, bio-inclusive living public sculpture IMAGE LEFT: My initial sculptural studies of surfaces IMAGE RIGHT BOTTOM: Collaborators computationally designed bio-inclusive surfaces [previous work from Phyta Biodesign] IMAGE RIGHT TOP: Collaborators Global Generation site for ecological testing and public encounters |

Bioreceptive Material Development
2025 Makerversity, Somerset House Experimentation to establish the material viability of potential living substrates derived from PCC industrial waste, pre-cursor to current proposed R&D IMAGE LEFT: Industrial waste PCC IMAGE MIDDLE: Early stage material tests IMAGE RIGHT: Sculpture maquette showcased at Somerset House |

Form and Public Use
2025 London Festival of Architecture Functional sculpture produced from food industry waste testing tactility, durability and public interaction and the first time I produced public art at scale with waste material composites IMAGE LEFT: Leftovers Loveseat installed in Fitzrovia IMAGE RIGHT BOTTOM: Food industry waste oyster shells IMAGE RIGHT TOP: Pigmented waste oyster eco-resin composite |

Porosity and Waste Material Ecology
2024 UEL School of Architecture, Computing & Engineering During my artist residency I was introduced to local industrial food waste (PCC) which had potential to be incorporated into a sculptural composite. Leading to the Makerversity residency IMAGE LEFT: Sugar refinery site and source of industrial waste IMAGE RIGHT: Drying out the waste PCC |

Waste as Sculptural Material
2024 UEL ELISA Award + V&A installation Initial investigations treating food industry waste as sculptural material funded by an East London Impact Scholars Award. Starting point for later waste-derived porous & living systems Outcomes were presented as part of Future Materials Table at the V&A Dundee IMAGES LEFT/RIGHT |
