Artist statement

I seek to produce pieces that are distinctly expressive through my practice, utilising the tangible to encapsulate the intangible. I am conscious of the historical form, function and connotations of jewellery and its connection with the body and identity.

Jewellery is the medium through which I expand observations of the human condition and our social constructs, coupling them together with the body again.
