Experiments dividing up surfaces, laser cutting the panels and linking - creates textiles with an interesting look and feel.
next step - investigating these types of assemblages as generative systems….
Lasercut tile and ring experiments
I lasercut some 2mm acrylic triangles to link together to create an icosahedron, but then quickly started finding other interesting ways to link the pieces up…

Images of Tiffany&Co Installations
Images below of the installations in Tiffany&Co’s windows as part of the ‘Street Lights’ project in conjunction with Vogue magazine and Royal College of Art alumni.
The theme for my installations was optical effects, placing the jewellery in chambers which reflected and enhanced their beauty, which rotated slowly casting out colored light and patterned shadows.

I heart tesselations...
I have recently found myself very drawn to tilings and tessellations, like those found in Arabic patterns.
