I am a Geelong based maker who studied painting and printmaking at RMIT in my early twenties.
I learnt silversmithing through enrolling in short courses at both the Gordon Tafe and NMIT.
I love the connection the medium gives me to both ancient techniques and modern ideas and how both can be intertwined into wearable art where the objects can exist on a purely ascetic level or can exist within the traditions and historical contexts of ritual, value and sentimental attachment.
I find inspiration in my immediate environment and are drawn to the asymetrical, the discarded and the worn and the out of focus
in the domestic, natural and in the discarded objects found in secondhand and vintage stores
The Fragment series uses the lost wax casting process and stones are cast in place
​
Fragments are metaphors for the way we piece together our life memories. The pieces reference decorations from domestic objects, these objects, now discarded were once significant in the rituals of life and hold real or imagined stories of unknown people.
Some objects carry monetary value and artisan credentials while others are from the mass produced but all are valued in the process of making unique one off pieces ,
