Italy, Florence, Alchimia Scuola di Gioielleria Contemporanea, 2018

Immersed in a deep observation of the ‘invisible’ has led me to discover unexpected beauty in obscure microcosms. I am determined to transform these microscopic proliferations to the exact opposite by making them visible, tangible, and wearable.

Treating them with reverent fascination, a series of 213 pieces is born to colonise surfaces on the body and on elements that are neglected in daily life, prompting the spectator to look closer and perhaps be surprised. I represent these mesmerising microcosms with organic materials, pigments, fibres, adhesives and recycled glass.
