During my three-month stay at Object Studios in Sydney* last summer I laid the groundwork for three new sections in my oeuvre.

Tits and Pieces comprises various pendants that combine hard with soft: a glossy aluminium stiletto pierces a round-breasted pastel-coloured, matt nylon part.

Happy Family is a collection of silver spoons and bowls reflecting an intimate domesticity and intended for just such a setting. It all revolves around food, games and affection: mummy, tummy, baby, breasts and Teddy bear. Playing together on Mum's lap.

Spooky Spoons are attractive tableware - ghosts and other cartoon-like characters. Some can also be worn as jewellery, as a clip or pendant.
