My work is inspired by nature and the natural forms that we see all around us. I enjoy the element of discovery, exploration and experimentation and the natural world is continually changing, creating a great source of inspiration.
The themes in my work are based on my observations, and how I interpret these. Capturing that moment in time, for example the patterns created on the surface of the water from the light, and the surface textures that we see in the natural flora such as lichen and bark.
My initial ideas are explored through drawing, then developed further through working with the different mediums and extensive testing. My main area of interest is lost wax casting where you can manipulate the medium and capture the organic textures and forms to build more sculptural forms.
Observing various natural environments has inspired me to explore texture and surface to create jewellery that has an organic, tactile quality.
