Meticulous processes involved in making jewellery are, for me, akin to meditative practice. Both call for presence, focus, care and patience, qualities I find calming and centering. I find it satisfying and inspiring to use reoccurring shapes with subtle adjustments to create pieces that, while minimal in essence, can be still visually striking. I work predominantly in silver and gold, making use of repetition, recurring patterns, geometric forms and subtle details. I take a minimalist design approach to convey my conceptual ideas.
