I enjoy pairing forms, letting one shape orbit another. a smaller companion acts as a kind of moon, to see how the two hold each other in space.

As the days went on and my notes compiled, I kept returning to a puzzling form.

Every test pushed back - the linens resisted this shape.

I spent the past few weeks on a self directed residency in the south of France.

Working out of a quiet stone house in the village of Nérac, I stripped my practice back to whatever materials I could find locally.

Held Breath is a series of sculpted linen works that embody the tension between motion and stillness.

The feeling of a breath held, not in panic, but in presence.

The work isn’t about narrative; it’s about noticing.

A pause you didn’t realize you needed. by @fifthdavis

Part of the Held Breath series, these works capture sustained tension. Surfaces frozen mid collapse, where stillness feels alive. Layers of linen and resin hold a fleeting gesture in permanent form.
