explains more about her work;
'The Victorians kept lockets of hair and miniature pictures to secure the
memory of a lost love. In the same way, I have preserved memories with
images and the written word, which I embed in silver and bone.
With the combination of traditions materials of bone contrasted with the use
of contemporary methods such as laser cutting, I create jewellery with
narrative subject matters conveying memory snapshots of returning
memories of fragile moments we all experience.'
