"The object of these pieces was to capture little vignettes or impressions of my new home, New Zealand. I sought to capture shapes, patterns and textures that I see and connect with in nature and combine them into cohesive multi-element pieces.
I make jewellery because it is intensely personal, it is sculptural, it has an infinite range of techniques and materials, and a history dating beyond nearly all other art forms. Whilst my vocabulary is limited, my direction is towards finding universality, in symbols, textures and patterns, through the ultimate in universal media - STONE."

"New Zealand's beautiful outdoor environment and unique culture are major influences on my work. My practice is a conversation between nature and human experience. Seeing the quality and beauty of New Zealand stone (kohatu) it was inevitable for me that it would become a major part of my practice as a sculptor. I aim to emphasizes the natural beauty of stone while re-positioning it, with minimal interference, into a human environment. I love the basic forms that nature creates and find immense satisfaction in working these into jewelery."
