I enjoy designing and working in silver and silver-plated metal to produce wearable pieces and vessels, I also oxidize and add gold for contrast. My work is often organically influenced focusing on shapes, forms and textures from nature, especially the carnivorous plant the Sundew. Many of my pieces have moveable wires to encourage interaction and gentle movement. Hollow forms are produced by various forming techniques and texture is added to some of my pieces with delicate etched detail. The main forms and textures are kept simple as not to detract from these wires.
