With my bespoke work I hope to disrupt the complacency of our everyday interactions and create memorable moments in time. I use design to draw attention to an object, creating a heightened level of awareness during and beyond its use. In addition to creating work that triggers an emotional response through touch, I also place an importance on visual stimulation. I treat the metal's surface as a canvas, exploring texture, colour and contrast. Textures are added using tooling to create layers that extend above and below the surface to form an image or pattern. Colour is introduced by combining materials whose natural colours contrast, sometimes combined with painted steel, to create subtle accents. With my bowls I am exploring kinks and curves in isolation, snap shots of the female form, abstracted to it purest point.
