Latest Exhibition at The Royal Exchange, Manchester



'Upcycled' Jewellery Collection

This collection was inspired by my interest in found photography portraying the female form and I have used watch components and key-parts to represent the unmasking and unlocking of a type of beauty seldom seen on the outside. These pieces, crafted using a combination of precious metals and discarded mechanical parts against a backdrop of 19th Century photography, conspire to create a unique dynamic from formerly obsolete items. I aim to challenge the conventions that society place on us and subvert the boundaries of what should and should not be worn on the body.

This latest range is on show at The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester and will run from 7th Feb- 31stMarch 2011. All pieces are for sale.
