ARTIST STATEMENT
" Strangers. Friends. Best friends. Lovers. Strangers."
Bamboo is stronger than steel. It builds its strength as it matures. In many parts of the world it is used as scaffolding. Young bamboo is fragile as it can easily shatter.
These jewellery objects make comment on the contrasting experiences within a relationship. Negative aspects of love can build or shatter a relationship.
My jewellery collection uses young bamboo and metal junctions to construct wearable pieces that allow us to question what makes a solid and healthy relationship.
