I find animals very inspiring and beautiful. I collect animals that have died of natural causes, the remains are then cleaned to be cast into precious metals. This process is about preserving beauty. I wish to expose the beauty of those creatures which we often dismiss as vermin. My intention is to create surprising and lasting adornments from the death of these creatures.
