Influx Jewellery Gallery - Artists

The forms in my work are derived from the exploration of movement. I emphasize the direction of the line through use of different colours of metal and maintaining a negative space. My jewellery is created through using various metal forming techniques which allow me to explore formal elements while working directly with the qualitties of the material. Through the nature of the forming process, my work is characterized by fluid lines and elegant form.
