Becoming

Growth rarely happens without struggle.

The effort, difficulties, and tensions we experience are often part of what shapes who we become.

I wanted Becoming to express some of that tension. I spent a lot of time experimenting with the relationship between the curved forms, looking for something that felt unsettled but still held together.

One of the things I love about working with craft sticks is what each one represents to me — a moment, a decision, a relationship. Thousands of small things coming together to create something greater than any one of them.

I hope Becoming gives people a moment to consider what they're becoming, and the experiences and tensions that are shaping them along the way.
