Objects and parts that no longer serve their original purpose intrigue me, as do the sentimental narratives that surround them. Bits and pieces of broken and discarded jewellery are an invaluable supply of fragments and stories waiting to be reclaimed and re-shaped into something new.
This work fuses an assortment of materials and eras together using mismatched yet complementary design elements. Old narratives are layered upon new ones, and imperfect beauty is celebrated anew through melted surfaces, blemished beads, visible frameworks, and reclaimed silver scraps, exploring relationships between the forgotten and the remembered, the discarded and the cherished, the broken and the repaired, and ultimately, the worthless and the valued
Sterling silver, upcycled plastic pearl bead, found crystal/glass, costume jewellery component.

Oxidized jewellery is finished with a layer of carnauba wax. This helps to protect the oxidized finish on the silver. If the silver becomes dull or dirty it can be buffed back up by rubbing the silver gently with a clean cotton cloth. It should never be dipped into sterling silver cleaning chemical dips or it will lose the black finish.
Exhibitions items are pre-order only. Purchased items will be available following the end of the exhibition.
