Statement
My jewellery is based on large, clear forms. My works are chased, mounted, and composed architectonically, yet created graphically. The line leads me to symmetrical forms, even grid, or a rhythmic repetition. I use large forms and look for reduced shapes that make clear, unambiguous signs on the body. Despite the rigidity of form, there are small irregularities, making the pieces lively.CV
