Large Water Jug1
CURVILINEAR THEME
Interpretations of the flow of liquid when poured from a vessel – jug, beaker or flagon – these are the basis for the development of this design theme.
Realisation in silver creates sharply modelled curvilinear forms which echo the dynamic quality of the flowing liquid. These undulating forms define the core of the idea and are layered section by section from separate silver elements.

FLOWING WATER THEME
The vibrancy of rivers, rapids and cascades – the fluidity of water in its many moods is the inspiration for these experimental designs.
Bowls, vessels and centre pieces, created by fabrication, forging and raising techniques which impart a forceful and flowing quality to each piece.

CUT AND OVERLAP THEME
A fusion of the curvilinear theme with an innovative piercing and overlapping fabrication technique.
The combination of overlapping pleated surfaces and strongly defined linear rhythms creates the unique quality of each design.
