I often work intuitively, drawing directly onto metal, piercing each line by hand. There is a rhythm to it that allows me to become completely absorbed. Time passes differently at the bench. What begins as a flat surface gradually becomes something layered, detailed, alive.

Making maquettes is an essential part of how I work. These small models give me freedom to experiment without pressure. They allow ideas to emerge naturally, often leading me somewhere unexpected. This stage feels playful, open, full of possibility.

Surface plays an important role in my work. Through etching, keum boo, soldering, oxidisation, I build layers that create contrast, depth, richness. I am especially drawn to the moment when gold meets darkened silver. The piece shifts, becoming more dramatic, more complete.

Much of my process is quiet, repetitive, grounding. It requires patience, attention, care. Each mark is made by hand. Each decision shapes the final piece. Over time, the work reveals its own character.

No two pieces are ever exactly the same.
