“Reticular” forms are characterized by a fine network or netlike structure. The most common anatomical example is the reticular formation in the brain, one of the oldest parts of the brain that plays a crucial role in consciousness.

When designing these pieces, I imagined what it would be like to inhabit and move around inside of these shapes.

To add a dash of function, the forms have a hole at the top that can be used to hold your favourite organic plant material. The 26mm diameter hole will also hold a 1” test tube or similar container for water.
