Our senses are the filters to our universe. Jewellery, unlike other art forms, is often worn on the body, engaging most of our senses. Some jewellery designers explore the edges of our sensory exploration of the world, questioning what it is we can and cannot see, or feel – or enabling a beauty to be sensed only in certain conditions.

In this podcast episode, we discuss how her work attempts to challenge the traditional way that people wear and interact with jewellery by exploring the relationship between materiality and sensory experiences, using traditional and digital techniques.
