Ani's work is characterized by the use of real egg shells from un-endangered bird species
that are reinforced to make them suitable for wearable jewelry. In the Garland series, the broken egg shells mimic flowers that are riveted to each other and to metal structures. The tension created between the two materials emphasize the delicate nature of the egg shell, together with its broken edges. |

I like to play with this theme every now and then: little bits of things ... how they attract one another,
how they form connections, how they gather and hold together, how they are arranged in a regular or random way, how they pile up and eventually form connections that lead to a whole or a part of a whole. |

Immersed in the fantastical, these jewels create a tactile wonderland.
As you wear them, feel the fluidity in design, dancing with your every move, reminiscent of the playfulness of fish scales or the sun's reflection on a rippling sea, offering a touch of magic adorning your neck. The lively interplay of light and color sparks curiosity and draws attention effortlessly. These pieces evoke feelings of whimsy and enchantment. The fantastical creatures they conjure transport you to a realm of childlike fantasy, bringing daydreams to life. |

'Tales of things that can only be imagined'
It is everywhere ... It is the stuff you throw away or no longer want We are drowning under piles of it It ends up in ... landfill ... charity shops ... hedges or washed up on a beach. It is ... ugly, wasteful, pollutes our lives It is ... depressing It will out-live us & hang around us for millions of years But It can also be ... beautiful ... ridiculous ... unique ... fun ... quirky or bonkers It can evoke fond memories of the finding ... receiving ... giving & collecting of it It can empower us & make us want to question both our own & others consumerism & when combined with things that have a history & their own unique stories ... Then it can become as precious as a diamond." |

"A collection of brooches born from exploration and adventure.
Inspired by my trip to Scotland in 2021 these brooches relive the journey through making, exploring how beautiful landscapes are translated in to stunning 3D wearable sculptures, taking time to appreciated the tiny details and special things that make these places so magical. Created using a mix of materials, these brooches explore combinations of Walnut, Formica and Silver, combining techniques such as piercing, laminating, texturising and granulation." |

Over 26 million people are estimated to suffer from a long-term chronic health condition in the UK alone. ‘MelonColley’ series comprises jewellery and ambiguous eating implements which use materiality and humour to more openly discuss the depression experienced by sufferers, with a focus on Rachael’s personal experience of the auto-immune disease systemic sclerosis.
The condition causes the body to attack itself and affects internal skins and muscles, leading them to atrophy over time, with changes to her gastro-intestinal tract having led to disordered eating. The discarded melon skin’s re-presentation as jewellery indicates the body’s own preciousness and communicates aspects of her bodily sensations through the material’s transformation, highlighted by the hardened leather-like fruit peel food waste." |
