"My practice of weaving in copper and silver originated from an interest in the form and pattern of raranga whakairo.
Combined with my formal training as a jeweller, my work continually evolves primarily incorporating these two art forms.
This current collection of work features pairs of objects - some exhibiting only subtle shifts from their counterparts.
With this new work I wanted to make two pieces at the same time, using the same material, scale and form, but creating each piece with their own subtle differences via the use of pattern. "
