Artist Statement
"I love creating through play and experimentation. I am motivated to create treasures that reflect evolving cultural experiences as lived by folk today. My framework aims to centre socially manufactured fantasies to provoke dialogue on capitalism, tradition and cultural identity. Through my practice I explore themes of mythology, storytelling, heritage and everyday rituals. By telling the story of today I offer future relics in the form of jewellery, sculpture and song. " - Ambrin
