This series of paper jewellery is part of the touring exhibition, Made/Worn: Australian Contemporary Jewellery comprising works by 22 artists and organised by the Australian Design Centre. Touring nationally from 2022 to 2023.

The work reflects on nearly twenty years of developing this folding process by referring to past designs as starting points for new pieces.

White paper is selected to convey a fresh starting point like a blank page in my process journal with faint imprints of words, drawings and mathematical sequences from previous pages analogous to echoes of past designs in the jewellery pieces.
