Technology for some can be threatening, while to others it is seen as a liberating factor in expanding our freedom to create, and broadening the boundaries of creativity, allowing more opportunities to pioneer new and exciting work. For one thing is still true: the need for the human element to innovate remains as strong as ever. Contemporary jewellery is about expressiveness, and the embodiment of ideas and concepts in a wonderful and tactile medium.
It is the script of roads not taken and of lives that have been cast adrift, unlived, or misspent and are now marooned in space and time. The life we're still owed or that fate dangles before us and that we project at every turn and feed upon and, like a virus or a suppressed gene, gets passed on from one day to the other, from person to person, from one generation to the next, from author to reader, from memory to fiction, from time to desire and back to memory, fiction, and desire, and never goes away because the life we're still owed and cannot live transcends and outlasts everything, because it is part yearned for, part remembered, and part imagined, and it cannot die and it cannot go away because it never, ever really was.
