Silversmithing
Iona translates fragments of her drawings onto silver surfaces creating her distinctive style.
Much like finding a hidden treasure on the beach, her work evokes the feeling of unexpected discovery, sparking an impulse to hold and cherish the object.
Contrasts of matte, polished, and gold finishes highlight moments of discovery. Opening the objects reveals hidden details and functions, heightening the promise of treasure within.
