"Recurrent themes in my work include: our relationships to science, nature, technology and each other, scale relationships between jewellery and architecture, death, religion and symbolism. It is my intention to find humour, wonder and irony in these subjects. Design and technique are vital influences in my work. The exploration of process, utility, traditional materials and the language of decoration allow me to access the full range of expressive potential of the medium as well as recognize it’s rich history. I believe that processes and materials have metaphorical aspects which compliment the conceptual development of my work."
