I design and create once-off art jewellery pieces – pieces which exist only once and which I will never re-produce. My works make a statement and, when not worn, can be displayed in a fitting, custom-made showcase on a home or office wall.
I tend to create my jewellery with all my heart and soul and my pieces inevitably end up expressing my personality and my experiences. In retrospective, my work is strongly auto-biographical.
My work reveals my fascination with texture, pattern, rhythm, movement, nature and systems and there tends to be a finely balanced tension between the organic and the geometrical, the confined and the open-ended, the serious and the light-hearted, the intellectual and the emotional. More often than not, my work can be read on different levels and there is generally more than meets the unquestioning eye. The tensions, the complex amalgamation of various apparent opposites and the onion-like layering are definite attributes of my personality.
My elaborate, time-consuming work processes reveal my obsessiveness, patience and diligence and the notion of time invested (and the often imperceptible value inscribed by it) is always of central significance in my work.
My range consists of neckpieces, pendants, earrings, rings and spoons.
