Artist Statement

Inspired by the impact of human activity on the planetI design environmentally conscious jewellery ranges, fabricated from recycled metals and discarded waste materials. To create these sustainable wearable art pieces, I collect single-use plastic litter which I find on my daily walks along the river with my two Spanish rescue dogs. I recycle this by hand to create a repurposed raw material, which I refine and set in recycled silver structures, inspired by the lines and shapes of human industry. Elegant and sculptural, the collection elevates the un-wanted into high-end contemporary jewellery without the high cost to the earth.
