The Artist's Journey
Strata of a nomadic soul
As a traveler at heart, I have always sought a souvenir deeper than a photograph. While my passion for jewelry grew, I hit a crossroads: I refused the ethically questionable trade of gemstones and loathed the plastic waste of epoxy. I needed a medium that reflected my journey.
The spark came from a flatmate researching "future fossils" - synthetic minerals archaeologists might one day dig up. As I was living in squats, I realised my material didn't need to be mined; it was already there, layered on the walls around me.
2020 I began collecting naturally detached paint fragments from the walls to hold onto the soul of these places before they vanished. In the beginning, it was just a nomadic hustle: I’d polish the pieces and drill simple holes to fund my journey.
Driven to turn "street grit" into high-end design, I taught myself silversmithing in 2024. Metaphorically, I am much like these fragments: years spent "in the wild" layered my history like spray paint on a wall. Now, those layers are beginning to peel back -revealing not just jewelry, but a wider spectrum of paintings and multidisciplinary projects soon to be shared.

Upcoming collections and projects.
Urban Fragments represents just one of many layers within my artistic practice. Beyond jewelry and paintings, new dimensions of form and light are currently evolving. Upcoming projects you can look forward to:
Ten cities -One collection
I have collected fragments from painted walls across the world. Each city brings its own visual language to the collection. From those ten cities I have already made Urban Fragments, there are some more raw pieces from Barcelona, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Brussels and Buenos Aires waiting to be set in silver.
