Amy's Craft World
Amy enjoys working with traditional and contemporary Chinese folding and manipulating skills. She focuses on trying to use different materials in developing her ideas. Her design process is innately experimental. It is based on the everyday object. Using simple materials to experiment with it seems to be a part of her identity. What she makes is accessible and unique; colourful, natural forms, detailed structures and evolving forms.

to Have & to Fold
Chinese youngsters spend many classroom hours crafting charms and such under their school desks as the teacher talks on. What happens when you grow into an adult? Well, we grow, but our childhood stays with us. This range of labour intensive, high colour jewellery is a tribute to those achingly slow maths less, painfully boring science session. They are playful and light hearted, unlike the condition under which they were created. The polar opposite to conformity, to have and to fold is a vibrant and childlike collection which spills off the wearer in splashes of tone and frivolity.
Material: recycled paper, bear can, fabric, drinking straw and wire
