Statement
A collector by nature, I draw inspiration from fragments, curiosities and hidden treasures. Fascinated by the minute and delicate, I use a variety of traditional and contemporary jewellery making techniques, combining precious, natural and vintage materials in a playful, asymmetric manner. From dainty studs to tumbling neckpieces, I enjoy creating intriguing, eclectic and feminine jewellery, inviting the wearer to explore the hidden narrative within each piece. .
My current collection is inspired by the treasure hoarding habits of the bowerbird, and explores the deliberate contrast of materials, forms and colours through their placement. Hardwoods, vintage elements and semi-precious stones are scattered amongst a showcase of silver and 9carat gold, carefully arranged until a sense of harmony is achieved through their mismatching chaos. Piercing, riveting, stringing and setting are all techniques used within the collection.
