the Big About
SO what's with all the boxes?
"My work has been described as ‘future heirlooms’ – a fitting definition. The cultural need for ‘history’ allows jewellery to play an active role in peoples’ lives.“It belonged to my grandmother”
“It’s been in our family for generations”
I aim to embrace this inclination and create a generation-spanning experience.
Taking cues from Victorian sentimentality, a childhood fascination with concealment, and 18th & 19th century furniture, my work creates opportunity for personal narratives to blossom. The pieces act both as a curiosity and trinket, each with an opening compartment, allowing the wearer to create their own story and attach their own meaning.
I want people to enjoy their jewellery and so the purpose if my work becomes twofold; to provoke interaction and cultivate attachment"
