I find animals very inspiring and beautiful. I collect animals that have died of natural causes, the remains are then cleaned to be cast into precious metals. This process is about preserving beauty. I wish to expose the beauty of those creatures which we often dismiss as vermin. My intention is to create surprising and lasting adornments from the death of these creatures.
These are pieces that were displayed at my first solo exhibition 'Life After Death' at Hill Smith Gallery, located in Adelaide, Australia.
