Elvira McKenzie approaches object‑making as a study in balance, between delicacy and weight, gesture and structure. She often draws on organic references, translating geological and coastal forms into pared‑back, architectural silhouettes.

Materials are treated with tactility in mind: surfaces are gently abraded or finely honed to receive light softly. The work holds space without noise, rewarding slow looking and touch.
Within Cleo Collects, McKenzie’s objects create moments of pause. They act as quiet islands in a composition, tempering strong furniture profiles and encouraging the eye to rest. Her evolving bodies of work demonstrate a commitment to refinement through reduction, each new series distilling ideas to their most resonant forms.
