Wonder Sifting Compact

This palm sized quasi spherical compact has an unruly glittering kinetic exterior which contrasts with its methodical interior.

Its porosity speaks of its construction and echoes the process by which I like to sift ideas in my
mind - I let ideas come and go, those that persist in time become sketches or models and a few
are made.

Just as memory plays a part in my making process, contrasts abound in my work. I
approached the making of this piece, responding to the theme Box of Dreams, after much sifting. It is a porous container made of impermeable material and assembled of many small elements which articulate individually. It can hold only solid items, an echo of the persistent idea emerging from the memory’s swirl.

Size of work: 30mm x 40mm

Box of Dreams is a unique jewellery and silversmith-led pop-up exhibition at the Goldsmiths’ Centre. Exploring the notion of how we use boxes and other vessels to contain our ideas, treasures and secrets, displaying the work of a group of talented artists working across a range of disciplines.

Curated by artist jewellers Ella Fearon-Low and Jed Green, this selling exhibition brings together a range of talented makers working in jewellery, silver, wood, textiles and glass. By combining precious and non-precious materials, the exhibition highlights the breadth and diversity of contemporary craft practice in the UK.

At the heart of the pop-up is a specially curated display titled Box of Dreams. This themed presentation explores both conceptual and literal interpretations of containment, offering insight into the work of leading craftspeople and artists working today. The exhibition takes place in the contemporary event space at the Goldsmiths’ Centre, home to over 120 makers and businesses working with precious metals.

The exhibition showcases jewellery and silversmithing by Morvarid Alavifard, Ane Christensen, Ella Fearon-Low, Jed Green, Jo McAllister, Caitlin Murphy, Francicsa Onumah, Sarah Pulvertaft, Inca Starzinsky and Elsa Tierney.

On Friday 15 May 2026, at 11am, visitors can join a guided tour of the exhibition with the curators, who will share their insights into the ideas behind the project and how the theme is explored through the pieces on display.
