Echo Echo

Handshake4 process


the creative process for me is not linear, there is always quite a bit of to and fro a jostle of materials and ideas to reach resolve. Some of the best jewellery stays on my workbench for months unfinished, a bit feral… scrappy, full of potential and frustratingly hard to tame 
focus is on materiality and a provincial vernacular.. themes around the land and resource and the feminine mingle.

Echo Echo....silencing the female was once an essential part of growing up as a man – though shouting at a woman was only one way of achieving it. In Ovid’s Metamorphosis, Io is turned by Jupiter into a cow, and Echo’s voice reduced to a mere instrument for repeating the words of others
