Artist Statement
Poetry, pattern of water, the processes and life of the ocean, all helped to form the Floating Free series of unique jewellery pieces. As part of a collaboration with Shetland poet, Christian Tait, I used her poem Spindrift as the starting point for developing ideas for jewellery. That led on the looking at the different patterns water creates in the sea, sand and rivers.
