Artist statement

I am engaged in a conceptual, research focused contemporary jewellery practice, frequently exploring philosophical and political themes in my making. Much of my practice is therefore located outside of the studio and I frequently employ less conventional, industrial techniques and processes as a means of responding to the contemporary milieu.
