At first glance, my ‘Workers’ pieces appear to be like much conventional ‘high street’ jewellery. However, look closer and the carefully constructed illusion of mundane mass production reveals itself to be intricately hand-crafted jewellery, formed entirely by tiny ants - surreal narrative pieces that, playing on the insects’ behaviour, seem to construct themselves.

Inspired by ants’ industry and Imbued with the value of time, ‘workers’ mischievously explores the realities of everyday life we often disregard as unimportant or unpleasant and celebrates the marvels to be found if we look at anything closely enough.
