I create contemporary kinetic sculptures and hanging mobiles that explore balance, movement and architectural form. Inspired by the work of Alexander Calder, each kinetic mobile is carefully engineered to appear weightless — gently shifting with natural air currents to create calm, ever-changing compositions.

Alongside collectible art mobiles for interiors and nurseries, I also create fully customisable kinetic sculptures for commercial spaces, interior design projects, hotel lobbies, retail environments and shop window displays.

I am an artist based in York, UK, whose work explores the intersection of balance, structure, and emotion through kinetic sculpture. Drawing inspiration from Alexander Calder and the architectural beauty of engineered form, I investigate the point at which geometry meets feeling.
Each mobile is built on the principle of the cantilever — a structure that seems to defy gravity while existing in delicate tension. Within that precarious balance, a quiet calm emerges. The suspended elements shift gently with air and motion, forming ever-changing compositions that invite reflection and evoke the serenity found in our own fleeting moments of equilibrium.
