Statement

Catch the Line, Through blazes of colour, Trace each movement, Follow the line of the
body, Interpret the rhythm, Capture the transience, Catch the Line.

“My practice explores line by tracing the contours of organic forms and the fluid shapes of body movement. I strive to capture the dynamic, expressive quality of the human figure as it dances in my linear drawings which I then translate into metal.

I enjoy exploring materials intuitively so that the creative process is spontaneous. The vibrant hues are drawn from the rich colourscape of Morocco and applied to the metal forms with hand-dyed thread. The result is vivid, sculptural jewellery that tangibly captures the essence of motion.”
