‘His transformative eye as a goldsmith converts jewellery traditions into new revelations and awakens our thinking to alternative jewellery stories. Banal jewellery types become exalted by a freedom to simplify, decorate and conjure the unpredictable. The formal language of an earlier era is given new meanings in found objects, to convey courtly and personal themes.’
