ARTIST STATEMENT

While studying in England I was asked to take ten pieces of metal and alter, convert, distort and destroy them. This seemed to be a simple task, but proved to be the most influential I was ever given. My current work reflects that influence and explores the relation between form, function and practicality. Working primarily in silver, I fabricate and form my pieces using traditional and non traditional jewellery techniques which I learned while studying at The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. While my pieces are not always immediately obvious, each one has a place, a purpose and/or a function.
