“Discovering the living organisms that
can be found in water is a major source of inspiration. For
me, water and metal have the same fluidity and I move through
both with the same ease. There are no boundaries, no limits.
I cannot explain the irresistible force that draws me like
a magnet to metal, the joy of forging, hammering, chasing,
shaping, and capturing the very essence of life in silver
and gold, the magic of metal! I transform nature by adding
or removing, recreating my own balance, working directly in
metal. I’m always surprised by what I find in nature.
At times I think I’ve seen something before, yet it’s
always a new discovery.
Through jewellery I can express myself freely; instinctively
I give it movement. The sea is my refuge, free diving my passion,
jewellery making the art form, metal the medium.” |
