In this series the origins of organic life are examined, drawing inspiration

from a range of sources in the natural world– from root systems to

microorganisms. Through the creation process, these flowing, intuitive works

begin to take on an energy of their own. In both clay and metal, the work possesses

an amorphous, ethereal quality. The jewellery, forged from solid sterling silver,

uses a variety of traditional metalsmithing techniques.

Sinuous shapes wrap around

and grow from the body; amoeba-like forms rest enclosed in delicate rings and

pendants.

In clay these structures are transformed from miniature to large scale,

becoming sculptures which bring a sense of life to the space they inhabit.
