I have had a studio in London for over 30 years. A modest establishment now situated in Clerkenwell Green, London. I work in both the fields of Jewellery and of Public Art. Working at a small and a large scale – from millimetres to meters. I regard these activities as site specific. Both kinds of design relate to the human form but in different ways. My large-scale work is all situated in the UK; my jewellery has been exhibited and acquired throughout the world. Some pieces are included in museum and public collections; others are worn privately on an every day basis. Most of my jewellery is made in parts or sections, so that the owner can share in the way the piece is worn. The iconic on-going ring sets which won an award “for innovation” from the Design Council in 1972 are a perfect example of this concept. Some pieces of my jewellery are easy and simple and some more complex. Because the work in the studio is always evolving and I am curious to see the way new developments will resolve themselves I never tire of searching for new directions within which to progress.
