London-based artist and jeweller working between jewellery, wearable sculpture and collectible object. My work begins with lived experience and the quiet tensions of belonging, memory and change, translating them into forms that invite reflection rather than explain themselves.

My practice begins with lived experience, moments of connection, distance, belonging, memory, reflection and change, and develops them into jewellery, wearable sculpture, sculptural objects and larger sculptural works that carry both emotional and physical presence. I use form, movement, colour, reflective surfaces, material contrast and negative space to explore the way we relate to ourselves, to others and to the lives we build around us.

I am interested in how an idea can move between the body and space, from an intimate object worn close to the skin to a sculpture encountered independently within an environment. Some works are small and personal, while others expand into larger forms and spatial concepts. Rather than explaining a story literally, I create objects and sculptures that hold a tension, memory or question, inviting the viewer to recognise something of their own experience within the work.
