This blog documents my practice as an artist/ jeweller / designer / writer and lapsed interior architect.

All posts are written by me, with quotes as noted. The texts presented in the Conference Papers and Symposia sections were first delivered at the events as indicated in each introduction, and are collected here for reference.

The Juukan Tears and 1.1.2017 pages catalogue single research / art projects and their associated outcomes.

I do most of the photography, so if you plan to reuse, please note Melissa Cameron as the photographer. Some images, including those featured on invitation cards (reprinted with permission), are by others, who retain copyright, as do the other artists whose works feature in posted photos. If your work is featured in an image that you don’t want to see here, please get in touch and it will be removed ASAP.

My website (updated in 2024) holds an exhaustive catalogue of work, divided into my recent Banner and Badge exhibition, newer series and and my archive. I also advocate checking the Highlights page of this site for more description-heavy recountings of recently completed projects.

For the new website I owe a huge dept to Bruce Cooper of Mechination. He has tailored the site and its attendant CMS (content management system!) architecture to me and my inventory system. It has changed the game of how I log my works and run my business.

Favorite tool: a tie between AutoCad LT and the 100mm Vallorbe saw frame combined with 6/0 Glardon Vallorbe blades.  Or PUK welder, or the drill press… sometimes even the camera….
