My designs are primarily based on the natural world where individuality exists among order. I enjoy the differences that nature produces within the same species.
I like the physical activity involved in forging metal, working with it to produce movement in the shape and surface texture. I am pleased by the differences that inevitably result even when using the same basic design, thus making each piece individual.
Many effects can be achieved by hammering metal or using heat for reticulation but at the moment I am interested in exploring other processes to produce variety.
I have been using the rolling mill with threads and fibres, piercing in conjunction with reticulation and stamping with various shapes . I have been oxidising silver to change the colour and using some gold with silver.
I am an enthusiastic recycler – in my jewellery making as well as in the house and garden – and sometimes find that damaged items and stones themselves will prompt the stimulus for a new piece.
