“I am creating diverse collections of flatware which translate the
different aspects of my concept. The pieces have an individual
aesthetic and change into new forms when they playfully interact with
each other.

The pieces come together through the lettering shown on the tines of
the fork and where it has been, leaving a mark. Another concept can be
seen through the exhausted cutlery which flops over a plate or surface
to interact with the tableware.

In the Exhausted range, the utensils take the form of the tableware
they fall on. The pieces are exhausted by constant treatment and use.

The non sharing bowl is a double bowl with two forks that have
‘MINE’ in different fonts on the end of the tines. The bowls have
‘MINE’ in the two fonts etched randomly around to encourage competitive
behavior.

The forked bowl incorporates the same idea but different lettering
to show the forks function and where it has been leaving its mark.

The personal fork has my initials on as an example of a personal
fork for hallmarking your food. I have done this with the intention
that people can commission their own initials”
