We all have an instinct to seek guidance and ask questions of the future, especially during periods of uncertainty. Throughout history, people have looked upward, outward, and inward for signs of what lies ahead. A GREAT AND WONDROUS SIGN inhabits that same space of questioning. Searching for answers and holding tension between hope and apprehension, faith and doubt.

This is mirrored in materiality, combining the longevity and certainty of clay with the ephemeral freedom of raffia. These materials work in tandem to create works that stand confidently together while having an individual flare.

We are all searching for signals of the future, forever looking up to the stars.
