Artist statement

Jewellery has alwasy benn a signifier - representing power, culture, familial lines, relationships and personal narrative. For me it is how i choose to display identity, a personal aesthetic and an intimate history. I am drawn to the raw, imperfect but also to the elegant and refined and I hope that a piece of my work contains all of these elements. That’s when i know I’m finished.
