Hand casting colored epoxy resin into complex patterns and translucent gradients, Elyse creates furniture and objects that mesmerize and beguile with an ineffable beauty that can only be achieved with plastics. Elyse’s skillfully executed precision processes have been honed over the years into unique techniques with foundations in murine, marquetry and terrazzo processes.

While materials and process are the bedrock of Elyse’s practice, pattern and color are their form of expression. The resulting furniture and objects are a synthesis of technical, aesthetic and cultural expression – quite unlike anything else.
