I am a maker, jeweller and artist. My work, which is full of fun, mischief and playfulness, addresses environmental and social concerns, such as the pressing issues of over consumption and our throw-away society.

Making for me is an intuitive process, that evolves with time, thought and patience. Through making I unravel the world around me, reflect on my experiences and better understand myself.

I have always been drawn to used and pre-loved materials, collected from my own trash, op-shops, hard rubbish, flea markets and picked up off city streets. I am intrigued by their imperfections and depleted selves and captivated by the sentiment and previous life they hold.

I push and poke these found materials to see what happens. I play with the tension between my desire to control a piece and the joy of letting go, allowing the materials to determine their own path. Through juggling control and freedom, I transform these discarded materials into contemporary works.
