| As an artist jeweller I specialise in working with unusual techniques, materials and inspirations. My design philosophy is to always try something new and to keep pushing the boundaries of my work to create something fascinating you will not have seen before.
Working in titanium, other reactive metals, precious metals and a self developed photo-inlay technique I create sculptural pieces designed to make the wearer feel fantastic. All photographs I use in my inlay are taken by me and pushed through a digital translation process to become a jewel. I am inspired to create light colourful and structural jewellery by the speed, beauty and precision design of Formula 1 cars and the opulence of Tudor and Stuart Lace cuffs and the colour and layering of Japanese kimono. I work closely with digital images and use those images in both two and three dimensions. I create pieces of small sculpture wearable as personal adornment and Photopaintings in limited editions. The original images in both my painting and jewellery becomes part of the new work dissipating its original coherence into a new form. It is impossible to tell what the original image represented. In its new life the picture bleeds into and lives on in the piece that partly takes its inspiration from the image it destroyed in its creation. |
