Images are captured from observation and perception of my physical and cultural environment. Fragments of these images are layered together to create jewellery pieces suggestive of ornamentation and wealth, whilst disguising and revealing alternative encounters: graffiti, road kill, rubbish and road markings. I add symbolic value to the images and materials I use. Discarded steel cans are resurrected and combined with labour intensive processes such as vitreous enamelling, giving both materials and images a new role within a piece of jewellery. The fragments add value to the whole; the whole adds value to the fragments.
