Working Practice<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

From my time at the Ruskin School of Drawing, I have continued to apply the traditional skills of drawing and observation. Drawings, collages and recording sketch books act as the catalyst for three-dimensional forms. This can be seen in my furniture design and construction, and more recently in silversmithing and jewellery.<\/p>\n

TRAVEL<\/h4>\n

My work practice is influenced by extensive travel, bringing together my appreciation of architecture, decorative arts and particularly jewellery and other items of adornment.<\/p>\n

NORTH AFRICA<\/h4>\n

Travelling in North Africa inspired my initial interest, seeing tribal jewellery, such as that worn by the Bedouin, Barber and Tuareg.<\/p>\n

INDIA<\/h4>\n

In India there is a strong belief in the protective power of amulets. These are often sewn into clothing as symbols of protection or worn as ornaments to ward off the \u2018evil eye\u2019.<\/p>\n

SOUTH AMERICA<\/h4>\n

In Bolivia the powerful belief in amulets can be seen in the \u2018votive mori\u2019 which are made in metal and depict different parts of the body to promote well-being in someone suffering from an illness.<\/p>\n
