The jewellery and objects we wear, use or collect, tell a story.
My work is inspired by my observations of society and frequently starts with a societal discard, such as a fragment of something broken. I like to work with the narrative that materials evoke.
It is important for me to know where the materials I use come from. To this end, I prioritise the reuse of materials, and the use of recycled and ethically sourced materials.
