StatementChris is a local designer/silversmith who studied at Birmingham and the Royal College of Art. His commissions include jewellery, silver tableware, ecclesiastical pieces and architectural items. Recent work concentrates on surface texture and pattern formed within wrought shapes, drawing ideas from careful observation of the landscape and natural forms. It is also concerned with architectural enquiry into utility wartime sea defence buildings set into coastal horizons. He is now developing a range of brooches and chains using steel, 18ct gold and titanium.
