Since graduating in 2001 and completing my post-graduate diploma in 2002 at Edinburgh College of Art, I have continued to develop my work while exhibiting both nationally and internationally. Working with soft metals such as silver & 18ct gold has allowed me to explore techniques of fusion in a new and exciting way. I arrange petal like shapes into regular and irregular patterns, and fuse them together to create my own sheet. Larger neckpieces are arranged into a continuous cluster of floral units, while other pieces such as brooches and rings have layers of kinetic elements within them, which come to life when handled or worn. The over- lapping of the petals create patterns themselves, adding to the overall design of the pieces. I can achieve different textures, patterns and imprints, making each floral element individual in itself. My jewellery has a light and tactile quality about it. The fusing of over lapping leaves gives the pieces strength. At the same time it has a certain delicacy about it, similar qualities to that of the real thing!
