Personal Statement
I would like to think that my work reflects the qualities of the materials I choose to use. A finished piece should show the processes used to make it. I never over decorate, cover up or try to disguise or alter the texture of the metals that I work with. I make jewellery that can be worn easily and comfortably. I enjoy the restrictions that this imposes on the creative process. I also like to take into account the kind of material the piece of jewellery will be best on. I look at a great deal of metalwork and jewellery from various periods and cultures but I would not place my influences directly from those. My ideas come from the world around me, whether this means my immediate environment, the natural world, art and architecture and innumerable man-made objects, my family, my background, my emotions. I often let the materials I choose to use inspire me to design a piece of jewellery and I enjoy trying to resolve the possible technical problems that arise from working in this way.
