Within these pieces you can find idyllic suggestions of nature through the twists of vines, grassy fields and rolling waves. However, any warm associations you might make with the quaint silver landscapes are conflicted with the juxtaposition of geometric structures, skyscrapers and radio towers. Enhanced by the black ruthenium plating and concrete, there is a cold atmosphere that surrounds a more urban landscape.

  The juxtaposition of environments within this jewellery not only provokes thoughts surrounding the conflict between urbanisation and nature, but also suggests a potential unity and the preciousness of finding a harmonious balance between urban and natural environments.

Arrowheads for Awa

ENDANGERED PEOPLE

“If you destroy the forest, you destroy us too” – Blade Awá.

 I have made these arrows which contain political narratives aimed to raise awareness of The Awa Tribe in the Amazon Rainforest and the dangers they face as illegal loggers and farmers invade their home.   It is common to consider the tragedy of endangered animals or extinct species, but now we need to consider the extinction of people as well. 

  These arrows are to be worn as a weapon of communication: They act as both a conversation starter and a cause for thought.  The roots of public opinion will make it harder for governments and companies to allow the destruction of tribal people.

  Spread the word.
