"I have been interested in Japanese Arts and craftsmanship for a long time and Shibuichi is an interesting Japanese alloy. I technically wanted to see what it was like to engrave, and to see what interesting patina patterns/colours may emerge. Also, I think it has an interesting ancient history from being developed to adorn Katana swords, to its later uses in contemporary jewellery work and throughout the Japanese artistic tradition. It seemed fun to incorporate Shibuichi into this piece which I created as an overlay onto our traditional silver cuff bracelet with contemporary formline engraving of Loons and Cattails."
