I'm pleased to announce that I am one of the selected artist and maker for Made in the Middle exhibition. 

My practice is a jewellery designer and maker, however this time I decided to make a large scale piece. At the time of my application, I didn't have a specific idea what I wanted to created for it. Having said that I was sure to develop my metal pine needle project which I have been developing since 2020. 

A pine forest in its condensed form. The name ‘Matsu-Mori’ means Pine Forest in my native language of Japanese. Each needle has been handmade using traditional jewellery techniques to form the characteristic branches of the Picea breweriana tree. I have emulated the flowing natural form of this evergreen tree as faithfully as I can while working within my skillset as a jeweller.
