. Statement: In this body of work, I compose visual narratives, inspired by science fiction films from the past century, on traditional, second-hand ceramic ware which are then fragmented and transformed into jewellery. Through interfering with the traditional images and patterns on the ceramic, new narratives are constructed and new meanings created.

I mean to expose the dialectical relationship of mutual transformation and transference of meaning between past, present and future, as well as between us and our material culture. Making jewellery from these narrative artefacts is a celebration of the process of narrative construction and its potential to keep up with changing times and perspectives while accounting for a past that keeps on informing our present..
