My jewellery is inspired by natural forms. The living world of organic organisms and structures has always been of interest to me. I am bridging connections with nature and jewellery to capture the small signs of life. Recently I have paid particular attention to the cactus. The shape and transformation process of this plant fascinates me. They have many interesting qualities that attract me, such as the variety of details in their textures, different thorns and bulbous structure. The changes in the growing process, such as the thorns getting stronger and the flowers sprouting, combined with my personal aesthetic with colorful, sweet, fresh and pure is what I want to create in my own ‘plants.’

Within my current work, the bulbous structures and prickly strands are made from silicone, clay and polymorph to represent the qualities found in a cactus. These materials were chosen to create textures and forms that resemble the flower-like shapes in my pieces. I chose a light pastel colour scheme to bring forward the intricate details and it fits with my own personal aesthetic. It must be playful, funny and colourful.
