Acid etched and coldworked glass, oxidised Sterling silver, nylon coated stainless steel cable

My use of glass and focus on repeating elements are inspired by observations of the everyday, and the impact of technology and the built environment on contemporary life.

This latest series of work evoke images of everyday urban life - a train track, conveyor belt, or freeway. These pieces have an impact, reflecting our individuality, and at the same time highlighting that we are all small parts of a greater whole.

The most recent work from this series, “Hope” Bandolier, uses the stark contrast between matt black and vivid green glass as a reference to the bright green regrowth which is now emerging from areas devastated in the ‘Black Saturday’ bushfires.

“Hope” Bandolier represents my optimism for better times ahead, and belief that things always improve.
