An ongoing interest in jewellery both past and present, especially Etruscan, Egyptian and Indian inform my work. A passion for natural forms, shapes, textures and colours in their rawest forms is also a point of reference. The seashore, the edge the washed up detritus, corals, pearls each piece unique, inspire my imagination to produce a unification of form and function. The processes of nature, the calcaneus’s accretions, the symbiosis of disparate elements evolve into new forms.

I use a combination of materials and methods consisting of oxidizing, casting and setting which create jewellery both organic and individual.
