Contemporary Jewellery direct from the leading contemporary jewellery designers

Artist's Statement

Heather takes much of her inspiration for her jewellery from drawing.  Her fine line drawings often start as doodles that develop intuitively through exploring complex pattern and repetition.  In her Jewellery she often uses methodical techniques with both sheet and wire and combines these controlled processes with those than can yield unexpected results such as fusing, enamelling and oxidisation.

Working predominantly with silver and gold, she tries to construct her jewellery in the same way she builds up a drawing, working intuitively and responding to the piece as it develops.  Her work is about this balance between obsessive control and chance.
