bakelite poker chips

Bakelite poker chips were an innovation to replace paper, rubber, and wood poker chips in 1907. Each butterscotch chip has a unique swirl pattern.
My work brings together my love for the beauty of functional objects, my passion for sustainability and my sense of design.
I walk through the world looking for possibilities in everything I see. I can find inspiration in the most unlikely places. I love cutting materials into smaller pieces, somewhat disguising their origins and becoming gems of sorts. I hope you find something here that speaks to you.
Welcome!
