"My jewellery is informed by ongoing research into the historic use, depiction and symbolism of coral in connection with making contemporary artefacts.

Coral is one of the oldest materials used for human adornment, dating back to Neolithic times. It has been used by many different and diverse cultures and throughout history, due to its value and difficulty to obtain, has often been simulated and replicated by materials like wood, glass, porcelain and plastic.

By combining actual and simulated coral with found objects and re-used consumer by-products like bottle tops and recycled plastic, I want to generate readings concerning human interaction with the environment and question ethical use of materials and the nature of the real and the represented. "
