When I look back at all the work I’ve made over the years, I see how the reverence I feel for the simplest of everyday things grows more and more profound. Everything I used to take for granted as a child because I was constantly surrounded by it — from the glinting ripples on the surface of the sea and the sapphire blue-green swelling waves when sunlight shines through them, to the scent of a stand of eucalyptus trees in the 36-degree Celsius heat. My art and my craft mirror my efforts to convey this sense of reverence, to condense vast landscapes and unyielding processes into small forms that in turn need to be interacted with, picked up, held, played with, or opened up to be fully understood. But what is it that I want you to understand? Maybe that, when we take the time to look closer, there is magic in the mundane.
I make jewellery and objects that have a story to tell; about you, about me, about us about the world we live in. The exhibitions I create are site specific and immersive sensory experiences that elevating the everyday beauty we are constantly surrounded by, but that we often take for granted. If you are looking to create a piece of jewellery or and artifact that is unique and meaningful to you, I can help you realise it. |
