"I have been fascinated with the natural geometric forms of minerals. The structures of these minerals are extraordinarily beautiful – they often grow in very pure geometric forms that look artificial or manufactured. Many of them resemble a form of miniature architecture, like tiny buildings or even fictive cities.

The Mineral Series plays with a miniature scale, while the Geometric Chain Series is over-scaled. When the rings are presented as a cluster they draw you in and evoke a world of wonder and science fiction."
