Artist statement

‘Looking at my over-familiar surroundings, I wished to see it with new eyes and a heightened sensitivity, in order to reveal the invisible in the familiar. My interest in sensory experiences, namely sight and touch, aims to encourage a new, richer awareness and appreciation for one’s local, everyday surroundings. Through a sensitive and intuitive approach to materials, I created jewellery with sculptural, delicate, lace-like qualities that has a striking visual and tactile sensation.’
