Artist’s eye.
Fabricator’s hands.
Jai’s practice draws on a background in fitting, machining and metal fabrication. Sacred geometry, reclaimed materials and large-scale public work shape an approach that brings artistic intent into the realities of making.
Start with the intention.
Tell us about the idea, the place and what the work should communicate.
Give the idea a form.
