The sources of designs for jewellery arise from an interest in three-dimensional forms, geometry in particular. I am drawn to the work of engineers, mathematicians and architects such as Buckminster Fuller, Franz Reuleaux and Zaha Hadid. 

Exploring ways to create forms using traditional and new technologies involves the preliminary processes of drawing by hand and CAD as well as maquette making, testing how materials behave and sometimes finding unexpected and interesting results. 

The designs fall naturally into two collections, Line and Form, made respectively from wire and sheet. The Line collections often involve multiple repeating elements and incorporate movement and adaptability, whilst the Form collections are concerned with how sheet metal can be manipulated by compression and geometric shapes. 

LINEcollections include Geodesic and Trace and Flow, FORM includes Compression and Geometry.
