<p>I design and make sustainable contemporary jewellery, creating unique pieces of jewellery and small editions from found and reclaimed materials. These are often reclaimed and repurposed plastics, which are usually combined with recycled silver. ‘Stuff’ and the properties and potential of different materials fascinate me. My work is a response to materials which have had a former life and I aim to make work which is wearable, original and beautiful and which questions ideas of ‘preciousness’.</p>
