Colour of Survival

The Inspiration

Inspired by Australia's salt lakes, drawing on the linear forms seen in arial imagery, and their vivid colours. In these extreme environments very few organisms survive and yet some thrive. This quiet reslience with themes of freedom and transformation are reflected in this collection.

The Collection

This collection explores strength, resilience, and transformation through colour and form. It features innovative, jewel-toned acrylic chains alongside a striking selection of silver earrings, necklaces, rings, and cuffs.

Through this project, I became fascinated by the possibilities of the ancient loop-in-loop chain-making technique — a method that has been used for over 5,000 years. I set out to bring it into the 21st century, working not only in traditional silver but also in the contemporary material of hand-worked acrylic. This innovative approach led to the vibrant, colourful chains that are at the heart of this collection.

Also included are two long silver and gemstone bead chains, reimagining this ancient craft with a fresh, modern sensibility. These intricate pieces celebrate the continuity of making, honouring the past while looking to the future.

Colour of Survival also marks a new chapter: the introduction of my first designs for men, introducing a bold ring and two geometric and sculptural cuffs.
