This is the second in a series of necklaces inspired, in part, by the sweeping curves of a pagoda parasol. After a period of focusing on monochromatic pieces made primarily from silver, I’ve returned to anodised aluminium — and with it, the freedom to create colourful works on a larger scale.

The piece is composed of overlapping metal plates that remind me of scales, feathers, or petals — forms I see as some of nature’s most spectacular displays of movement, shape, and colour.

In November 2021 The Pagoda II necklace featured in Force of Nature at Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery, London, curated by Melanie Grant. It has subsequently appeared along side the Lacewing as part of {Queer}+{Metals} 2022, a Craftspace exhibition co-curated by Dauvit Alexander and Deirdre Figueiredo in collaboration with Rebekah Frank.
