Hewn




Each Hewn ring is uniquely formed by me combining natural elements in resin. They are experimental studies in capturing the colour, texture or structure of the ancient ruins, minerals and fossils that intrigue me. I transforms these ideas into modern, wearable pieces through using a medium lightweight enough for large statement pieces, but heavy enough to know you are wearing something of substance. The flexibility of this material allows me to artistically mix pigments combined with metals, stone powders, minerals and precious stones in their rugged state evoking the feeling of ancient treasure unearthed from the ground.


Here are some examples of the natural minerals I use


Carnelian
Pyrite
Quartz
Rock Crystal
Granite
Opal













Garnet



Icelandic Spar



I also experiment with methods and materials to interpret colours and textures found in nature



Shagreen




Lapis Lazuli

Terracotta


Malachite

Coral

In developing my experiments in the Hewn rings, I have also transferred these methods to sculptural bangles and earrings.
