Biography:
My background is in textile design and for thirteen years after graduating I worked creating tactile fabrics for high end interior and fashion fabric clients. My practice now takes these skills but explores the more intimate scale and application of wearable objects, using my textiles background and skills but merging with silversmithing.
Collection Concept:
My jewellery, informed by preliminary embroidered collages, explores unifying contrasting materials that are different colours, forms, weights, and origins together in a harmonious way using embroidery and silversmithing techniques. I like the interaction and dialogue between precious metal and non-precious materials, and I am fascinated by the use of embroidery as simultaneously being a construction tool and a decorative tool.
