A fragmented ring made in fully recycled silver, its bark-like surface formed through the alchemical process of reticulation. Created in contemplation of Birch, the texture captures the tree’s delicate strength. The smooth shank offers a solid foundation to support the fractured bark—echoing the quiet resilience found in nature’s cycles of repair.
This piece draws from the lore of Birch—a native tree of Moray long associated with renewal and purification:
~ Fresh Start
~ Healing
~ Release
~ Hope
These themes moved through a highly experimental making process, guided by instinct, emotion, and material response. The oxidised silver was partially polished to reveal a hidden brightness beneath the surface—a symbolic gesture toward hope and healing.
I think through making—each piece becoming a one-of-a-kind expression of the materials, the moment, and the myth.
