Material: Jewellery | Location: North West
I love working hands on with materials and having a real connection to my work, there are always so many different possibilities in letting the material tell the story. From simple objects to sculptural body pieces, my work combines an interest in exploring the dynamic relationship between art, jewellery, and fashion; and between maker, object and wearer. I practice a slow, intuitive way of making and as a result, most of my jewellery pieces are one of a kind.
I am a great enthusiast of exploratory practice and have developed a process to create my own material from layers of paper and resin. Every element undergoes a special laminating and carving process that I have developed and continue to refine. My work is very light and tactile and needs to be touched.
Most importantly I like to see my thoughts take shape through crafting something with my own hands. The layers of paper that make up a piece can be colourful and meaningful as they may include collaged or hand-painted sheets.
