After losing the sight in my right eye, I found it difficult to continue my jewellery making. I started cutting paper as a way of redeveloping my fine motor skills and creativity. I usually up-cycle objects, ephemera and findings. My work is informed by social consciousness and politics which translate through my 3D works, thus giving the viewer a glimpse into my conscience.
