Artist Statement

It is the intricate and subtle details in nature that my inspiration transpires from. What fascinates me about nature is the way that it creates beauty so effortlessly; something that our culture strives so hard for.
The qualities I aim for in my jewellery are ones which relate to the inspiration they derive from; light organic shapes and patterns, controlled randomness and colour. Where possible, the technique will often guide my design, for example, forging and cutting to create random shapes. Precious materials do not always play an important role in my work and imperfections, such as oxidised copper and gold leaf, enhance the natural and organic influences.
