To be the observer, a lot can be revealed by the subtlety of others’ actions. A simple glance or touch can go unnoticed but to the observer it can speak volumes. The quiet choices we make can reveal the common humanity of life’s experiences and their individual qualities. I want to capture these moments by creating a physical element to these interactions through exploring the body and the marks we make. The traces we leave behind or the quietly noticed moments between people can hold as much significance as the jewellery we wear. My practice involves research through various archival materials while noting the shapes and interpretations of the body and the natural form. Using etched silver and interactive design, I create an almost forensic experience which aims to connect the wearer to the hidden meanings and messages in the subtle everyday.
