I have always had an interest for the natural organic world around me, often picking up seed pods on adventures and delighting in new found plants and flowers when I was a child. Through fine arts and jewellery I have taken this love and created a range of jewellery that explores space, fluidity and balance through organically shaped sculptural forms which seem to float on the body. This is done in a range of metals such as silver and gold, with patina effects to “sketch” my ideas into metal. It is my intention to stimulate the viewer and delight the wearer appreciating these pieces both on and off the body but still maintaining their interest over time, creating an appreciation for organic form and the myriad of secrets that lie within.

Hi Michelle
I'm glad you could make it and enjoyed the symposium. There is so much to think about! the challenge will be to avoid feeling overwhelmed. I was really interested in the different ways people are approaching the matter and where their thoughts are leading. Next year I'll make sure I allow a coffee break so we can encourage more discussion.
cheers
