Fluid Foundations (2017)

Fluid Foundations fuses a dark hardwood plane with a mirror-polished 316L stainless-steel “spill” that drops over the edge and pools into a structural foot. The Mercury Effect turns the leg into liquid light, carrying the table from craft to sculpture.

Artist Statement

A stable surface meets a moving edge. The timber top holds a calm, matte field while the stainless leg behaves like a sheet of quicksilver slipping over the corner and gathering its own weight on the floor. The work treats furniture as a site of transformation: utility becomes theatre; support becomes motion. Reflections run down the curl of metal, fold under the lip and bloom into a silver puddle that actually bears the load. The piece is both dependable and fluid—anchored by wood, animated by light.

1/1 Modern Exhibition

Stage on a clean, neutral floor with 1–2 m of clearance so the “spill” reads in profile. Use soft, directional light from the steel side; let a gentle fill lift the wood grain without flattening it. Avoid busy surroundings that would clutter the reflections. Encourage close viewing so visitors can watch the room distort and flow through the leg.

1/2 Renaissance Works

A beam of wood, a pour of light—the table learns to stand on a ripple.
