Statement

I like to approach jewellery as small-scale sculpture, and I like my work to be fun and have a bit of a sense of humor. I love working with found objects – especially plastic toys and old coins – because they have so much figurative and narrative potential. I work very much within a kitsch or cute aesthetic, and I enjoy combining precious, traditional materials with things that might be unexpected in jewellery, or considered bad-taste.
