Process

The work begins with attention. Time spent within natural environments provides an opportunity to slow down, observe and become immersed in place. Photography functions as a field notebook, recording structural patterns, tonal shifts, surface details and fleeting relationships encountered across changing landscapes. These observations become reference points for developing form, pattern and material.

Ideas move through an iterative process of drawing, testing and making across jewellery, textiles and small-scale sculpture. Etching, fabrication and hand-finishing allow observed structures to be translated into material form, while retaining the subtle variations that emerge through making.

Observation and making are not separate stages. Each informs the other, allowing sustained attention to environment and place to continue through the material process.
