'I prefer to work with non-traditional materials. To many people, if it is not gold, silver or a gemstone it is not jewellery. As you can see from my work I do not subscribe to that philosophy.'

'The horseshoe nail necklace consists of sandblasted nails, torch heated near the top to provide a little colour contrast. The brass spacers have been oxidized with liver of sulphur.'
