Taking influence
from organic form and nature’s colourful language of warning
and courtship I make mainly one-off pieces of acrylic jewellery.
Although diverse I find acrylic’s stock colours too insensitive,
but processes of lamination forming and carving allow the blending
of colours and remove the material from its industrial / mass-produced
context. I’m fascinated by the way pieces can be fixed to
clothing or worn on the body and seek new and unusual approaches
to wearability. I’m also interested in pieces’ value
as objects in their own right. I try to give them a dual identity
and often see them as ‘creatures to wear’.
