Welcome
Take a look behind the scenes as I build my technical skills as a contemporary art jeweller and explore my jewellery voice. I’ll share both finished conceptual jewellery and anything experimental that I make along the way. I’ll also share sketches and works in progress here or on my Instagram @metalformsca
If you see any work that interests you, feel free to get in touch.

Approach
Strong conceptual design communicates multiple ideas, making the viewer think and make their own choices about meaning. The foundation of each of my designs is a single unifying concept that contrasts competing ideas with each other or with more traditional design elements. My work is influenced by my strong interest in architectural forms, both historical with period detail and modern with simple, clean lines. My current practice incorporates hands-on creation as well as computer-based 3D design and digital manufacturing methods.
