I design and make jewellery and smallwork, using precious metals to fabricate and construct one-off pieces as well as producing hand-worked multiples and small production. Work is sold through galleries and privately or by commission. Special pieces have been created around concepts of 'Music and Movement' and on 'Reflections' and 'Illusions'. A series of design-led double rings emphasises comfort and simplicity. RINGS TO REMEMBER and RINGS TO ENGAGE led to EDIBLE/SOCIABLE rings, which are part of a continuing curiosity to explore ways of interacting with jewellery. They have a vitality that allures and intrigues, then entertains and invites participation.
My work explores jewellery as sculpture and ornament. Using innovative mechanisms or fittings or shapes, with changeable units, occasionally with internal musical elements, this bold work often involves options for the wearer/observer, sometimes through its multiple-functions. Pendants become rings. Necklaces can be worn in several different ways. Rethinking rings as non-circular, double, or chiming, they appear to float on the hand, have colour changes, or double terminals. Precious metal is photo-etched, fused, inlaid, spun and constructed, with silversmithing techniques adding extra dimension and form. Current Exhibition
