I make Stuff

The individual elements dictate the final sculptural form ....

I listen to what they tell me to do through their own language ....

A language of line, texture, colour and form ....

Individual parts tell me where they want to be - who they want to be friends with and who they hate to lie beside

These parts use a language that is common to both Jewellery and Sculpture

.... there is no difference
