Barbara’s work is inspired by astronomy.
From planets held in orbit to eclipses, she explores overlapping bodies or the space between objects. Working principally in silver, Barbara uses traditional techniques to create circular forms or outlines with contrasting colours, textures or materials.
Each piece of jewellery is structured to capture a fleeting moment of dynamic motion.
