Personal Statement
Inspired by natural forms, the work combines sensuous liquid shapes with smooth, crisp, highly textured surfaces. It is organic, whilst incorporating a high tech, science fiction feeling, where movement often plays its part. Oxidised silver is used in juxtaposition with yellow gold and coloured glass, or stone, to produce a striking colour contrast. The dark recesses, inside the hollow forms, create their own mysterious miniature world. The one off pieces have a dialogue with the production work resulting in a dynamic and complementing relationship.
