Artist statement
I am a contemporary jeweller, who enjoys pushing boundaries. My concept explores exciting new materials for a fresh visual impact. In this body of work, I have been researching a range of ideas surrounding armor and protection mechanisms. Practical defensive elements and their social implications intrigue me, from a beetles defense mechanism or a costume we can hide behind, to leather battle armor.
The precious elements in my work are semi hidden in order to provide a context by which the outer protective forms can be glorified. The true narrative of this work is focusing on the protector rather than the protected.
Name: Protect
Ring, 14ct gold, leather, purple dyed Pearl.
