Approach

My inspirations stem from the patterns of everyday life: from the cityscape of London through to organic natural forms. In turn my artistic landscape has been determined by the bold African shapes, textiles, food and passionate family conversation of my childhood.

The pieces are made using traditional silversmithing techniques that require the beating of sheet metal over steel and wooden forms. This process allows me to explore the resistance and strength of silver sheet with specialist hammers. The process of creating these rich sensual forms is a rhythmical, mesmerising scene of tools pushing the metal to its limit, emphasising the fluid vitally of each form. Each piece exposes an emotional response to the material, each one a unique blend of order and chaos.
