My work is inspired by the dry Australian bush;
the twiggy scruffiness of curled dry leaves and shards of shedding bark, the holes and blemishes made by insects, the raw textures and bleached tones of tree trunks and charcoal scarring left by fire, the pod forms of gumnuts and seeds, and the occasional glimpse of the blue-green sea.
I try to capture the honesty and simplicity of casually collected bush fragments, tied on a string as a keepsake or the gesture of wrapping strands of grass around the wrist as a bracelet.
Working in both silver and gold, my work is quiet, modest and comfortable – pieces to be worn every day that will over time develop their own unique patina.
