My inspiration comes from the silkworms. I am interested in the stages in the life cycle of the silkworms from eggs, to larva, cocoon and adult moth. This process makes me think about the problem of life and death. Similarly to our own lives, the silkworm lives for a limited period of time. My jewellery designs explore these issues. I use 3D-printing to create resin pieces that I then cover with layers of silk wire in the form of cocoons or cases. My own process of work mirrors and represents the process of life of the silkworm. For me, while we cannot see our beginning or end we can still find the cycle of life in other living creatures. I aim at creating simple forms in light, soft neutral colours that resemble the natural elements. I wish to express that feeling of vagueness and mystery that will incite viewers to inspect the work more closely and feel its delicate texture while holding it in their hands.
