Art Born from Contrasts
I am an artist, designer, and creative consultant. My practice is rooted in curiosity: about materials, about balance, about the spaces we live and move in. I create sculptures, mirrors, and light pieces that invite reflection, not just of surroundings, but of emotion and experience.
At Rasengani Atelier, I explore the conversations between materials. Steel brings strength, weight, and permanence; glass offers lightness, transparency, and quiet uncertainty. In my work, these qualities are not in conflict; they exist together, held in a quiet, deliberate balance.
Each work is an exploration. A tension held. A moment suspended.
My artistic journey has been recognized through prestigious fellowships and exhibitions. As a Fellow at both the Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center and Socrates Sculpture Park, I’ve had the opportunity to develop large-scale installations that challenge conventional material dialogues. The Socrates Sculpture Park installation, displayed for six months, invited public engagement with these material conversations in an open-air setting.
My work has garnered attention from discerning collectors, with sculpture pieces now held in the private collection of Wheaton Arts Museum. The depth of my practice has been further enriched through my fellowship with the Association of Independent Colleges of Art & Design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and as a Glass Fellow at the renowned Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle.
These experiences, anchored by my MFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, have refined my approach to material exploration and strengthened my commitment to creating works that exist in that delicate space between strength and vulnerability, permanence and transience.

“The power to ‘mediate between the senses’ using imagination, self-awareness and the power of reason is what drew me immediately to both Michael K. Paxton and Ndivhuho Rasengani.”
“He has an acute awareness of light as a material and change agent, and learned to work with glass after being awarded a fellowship to study at Pilchuck Glass School in Washington state.”
