"The fundamental theme of the collection was my personal reflection on mans manipulation of nature. The show was roughly divided into two sections, the first part playing with the natural world and the second half looking at civilization post industrial revolution and mans touch on the natural world and its resources. The Crystallized Swarovski elements are symbolic within the second half as they were used on the more structured pieces ie: man made: their natural, beautiful and decorative quality hinted to a more optimistic vision of where we are today"
