the thing that seduced me
… is the thing that formed me
… is  the thing that deformed me
… is the thing that perverted me
… is the thing that converted me
… is the thing I love, too.

(from Patti Smith’s Little Prayer for New York)

When your work is also your play and your passion, there’s a price.

So. If I can’t make jewellery, am I still a jeweller?

‘Hush Now’ is about uncertainty.
