every piece is uniquely hand-fabricated inside my Northern Sydney garden studio. I use primarily fine silver, 925 sterling silver - recycled, when possible - combined with various gold alloys (ranging from 9-18ct) as accents. My work features curated, non-standard gemstones chosen specifically for their rare inclusions and raw, unrepeatable crystalline geometry. Visible tool marks and natural textures are intentional architectural elements of the design.

Often my work is oxidised - a chemical process that darkens the silver to varying degrees, even entirely black. Oxidised work is sealed with a special wax to maximise the patina's lifespan but by its nature, a patina is a superficial finish and not entirely permanent. Wear from friction is a natural, expected part of the finish. To clean oxidised sterling silver, wash gently with room temperature water and a mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical jewellery dips, sonic cleaners, or harsh polishing cloths, as these will strip away the intentional dark patinas and can permanently damage delicate druzy crusts or raw mineral inclusions. Store your wearable sculpture flat, in its own box and in a dry space away from direct moisture and prolonged sunlight.
