Based in the west of Ireland, Ray builds artefacts that expose and celebrate the invisible systems shaping our world — fire, pressure, carbon, flow. His work synthesises engineering precision with poetic instinct, drawing from lived experience building a commercial-scale pyrolysis plant, and extending into a growing body of sculptural, functional, and conceptual works.

Each piece — whether a carbon-infused bench, a rain-harvesting tower, a kinetic model, or a door handle made from pyrolysis char — embodies a deeper logic. Ray calls these process sculptures: physical and digital expressions of transformation, energy, and flow. These aren’t metaphors — they are literal fragments of working systems, distilled into tactile, poetic forms.

At the heart of FutureBright Studio is the belief that design can be both useful and meaningful — that even the most technical objects can be more than simply functional. Ray’s work invites us to see machines not as cold infrastructure, but as gestures — intimate, expressive, and alive.

Ray is currently focused on running and maintaining the pyrolysis plant he helped build, while experimenting with new ways to work with the biochar it produces.
