While designing “Night Drive” I was fascinated by a project called “Will’s Note Book,” Will Kahn is a curator of fine jewelry. He scatters jewelry pieces on an artist’s sketchbook and scribbles notes describing materials and other observations. The mahogany details of the Night Drive series mimic gem cuts and settings found in jewellery design. At the time I was also connecting with the varied aesthetics of the 1970s, the collision of studio 54 glamour (sequins and mirrors) and the rustic hippie aesthetic (warm woods and natural fabrics). I imagined New York in the 1970’s where fashion designer Norma Kamali described the city as hyper creative and downright dangerous. The Night Drive pieces are nostalgic, style driven without being too serious and invite you to lounge lazily as the record plays.
The “Coastal” series is influenced by the bohemian, oceanside neighborhood of St.Kilda in Melbourne, Australia. As a dual citizen I spend time there each year and it’s scenes have woven their way into the fabric of my work. The Coastal standing lamp is a tall statement piece that features an oversized, organically shaped shade, in crisp white linen. The base is available in two colours a matte black metal with sand blasted finish and a glossy terracotta. The Coastal lamp is influenced by the parade of sailboats that dot the bay. Robe St. wallhangings combine photography, mirror and glass. The beachside images taken in my early twenties from an apartment on Robe St. feature palm trees, gritty urban scenes and architecture. The viewer is reflected in the composition, existing seamlessly within those memories.
