ideas

I have several interlinked themes that inspire me, all radiating from my fascination with the inescapable changes that happen in our internal lives and also externally in the natural environment.

Walking, in particular by the sea, is a constant source of inspiration. I am an avid beachcomber and current jewellery reflects ideas around found objects as worry beads, collecting man-made relics, and trying to make sense of remnants of information. I like the meditative calming effect the sea has on me as well as the sense of the sublime.

Working in a hospital had a profound impact on my sense of mortality and in turn my art practice. In my work I seek to explore the vulnerabilities of our bodies and change processes that happen. I am humbled by the complexity of human experience. I am exploring ideas about meditation, resilience and buoyancy.
