Scent Sculptures 2026
As an artist, my priority is to create sculptures that do not simply occupy space, but activate it sensorially. I believe that when we truly experience our senses, we become more embodied and more present in our lives. Through my sculptures, I aim to offer an encounter that gently interrupts distraction and invites viewers into a heightened awareness of touch, scent, and breath. By engaging with the work through multiple senses, the viewer is encouraged to interact not only with the sculpture, but with themselves, grounded in the present moment.
Over the next two years, alongside my international sculpture projects, I am focused on deepening this ongoing scent sculpture series into a cohesive body of work. My research centers on how aroma can inform sculptural form, and how material and fragrance can operate as a unified sensory language.
Blue Rose
Cultivated from the flowers in my garden, I infused blue rose essence in this sculpture.
Red Rose Essence and Thorns
Porcelain scent sculpture contained within a hand crafted perfume oil, inviting the viewer to move closer and experience it much like one would a living flower.
Perfume oils, are infused into my scent sculptures to create an intimate olfactory dimension. This invites viewers to move closer, to become present and to feel, transforming the sculpture into a lived, embodied experience.
During a recent stay in Florence Italy, I completed a perfume making workshop which inspired a new series of scent sculptures upon returning to Vancouver.
In this series, each piece begins with cultivation. The process starts with a seed planted in my garden, where I grow and harvest the flowers that later become the fragrance within the work. The cycle continues in my studio, where porcelain is shaped, fired, and united with scent in a sculptural vessel form. From soil to bloom to perfume to clay, the sculpture carries a complete sensory journey.
