The new decade-long piece a day investigation will be divided into ten chapters, with each year marking a path of a life lived.

IN THE EVENING We seem to have some time - a moment or two when we can stop and pause. IT'S ALWAYS DARKEST JUST BEFORE DAWN is a year long time-based digital & art jewellery project that runs 1 July 2014 - 30 June 2015. The project is a contemporary multi-disciplinary enquiry that explores the significance of handmade objects at a time when people are engrossed in digital culture and mass-produced products. IT’S ALWAYS DARKEST JUST BEFORE DAWN will pursue the creation of auth
