Artist's statement
I make bold wearable sculptures in silver and gold, using lost wax casting and granulation techniques. Exploring repetition and scale, I build up multiple individual elements to create intricate textures and bold silhouettes. I incorporate gemstones in such a way that they appear to melt into the metal and are integral to the overall form of the piece rather than being the main focus. The finish is often raw or uneven – celebrating the beauty of pure and burnished metal and the marks of the making journey. My aim is to produce beautiful jewellery that is honest, unique and as individual as the wearer. I use precious materials because they are a joy to work with and they add to the essence of luxury and treasure unearthed, but the time and passion I devote to my art is what makes my creations truly precious.
