As an avid bushwalker, I observe the environment, trees, shrubs and their seedpods, fallen plant matter, finding treasures in natures design.

I am captivated by the intricate patterns and structures in seedpods, which inspire me to explore and reinterpret their forms. By combining various seeds and their pods, I create new structures and functional objects that reflect the significance of seeds and their capacity to transform and thrive.

Hybrids emerge from cross pollination of seeds, comparable to hybridization[2] of cultures. 

My work consists of small sculptures - spoons and containers - crafted from brass and silver, celebrating both the inherent beauty and the transformative power of seeds.

Through this collection, I aim to emphasise the ability of transformation and the potential that lies within even the smallest seed, weather in plants and humans. My work highlights the enduring and transformative power of nature, plants and humans and their possibilities that arise from migration.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in England, the tradition of gifting silver spoons became popular. These spoons often bore intricate designs and were given to mark significant life events, such as births, christenings, or weddings. The spoon's material—silver—added a layer of significance, as it symbolized purity, wealth, and enduring value. individual meaning.

In contemporary times, spoons continue to be a symbol of warmth and care. They are often given as keepsakes or tokens of affection, representing a wish for the recipient to always find nourishment and comfort in their life. Thus, the spoon remains a powerful symbol of connection, generosity, and enduring love.
