“I have a profound interest in human nature and I am inspired by the social and personal issues that shape our
lives; the objects we own, cherish and wear, and our relationships with them. My work in recent years refers
to a closer analysis of some of the fundamental reasons for wearing and owning jewellery. I believe that all
jewellery is ultimately conceptual: requiring a voice, our experiences, our thoughts and values to fully define
it beyond a mere decorative object. Often, my work results in attempts to visualise the hidden values found
or perceived in jewellery. The key to understanding jewellery lies within each of our own life experiences: past,
present and future. Where better to start the process of exploring what jewellery is and can be, than with life itself.”
