As the starting point for each jewellery piece, tiny petals are cut from heavy weight cotton rag printmaking paper and allowed to fall randomly before being imprinted into the annealed fine silver sheet via a rolling mill. From these embossed prepared sheets I construct softened geometric hollow forms, using traditional techniques of piercing, forming and soldering. The clean edges of these forms are a counterpoint to the organic surfaces either by the fact of the contrasting colour of other metals (rose bronze, red brass and copper), of different surface finishes (brushed, burnished or oxidised) or layered to show the way the piece is built. I aim to include in most of the pieces a versatility, so that they can be worn reversed, and by using minimal functional fittings create less visual interference with the essence of the forms and surfaces. The designs are deceptively simple and are a product of exploring through making, the scale, proportion, balance and articulation is always done via direct working with the material and refined and road tested by being worn.
