Hopeless Romantic - Jan 2020

Hopeless Romantic was a jewelry collection of large conceptual  vitreous enamel and fabricated silver pieces each based on a poem of the romantic poet John Keats, whose rich imagery and themes of transience I found very inspiring, often movingly so.

Dreams of Atlantis - Nov 2019

Combining vitreous enamel for the first time with silver casts of my own design, fabricated silver, shell and labradorite, I created a collection but subaquean, part extra-terrastrial, for my own taste of Atlantis, more state-of-mind than place.

We close our eyes and feel a yearning for a utopia, a certain missing of a place we’ve never been to, that undefined pining the germans call ‘ sehnsuct ‘- a place glimpsed in our collective unconscious when we dream.

I combined high-grade Azurite-Malachite gemstones with baltic emaber and reticulated silver.
