‘Room of Dreams’ installation at the Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh, 2002

“The dream is the room and every one of its individual contents is in some sense a part of a dream. A white wall is covered with frames, each of which contains a piece of jewellery, each inspired by a dream or dream-like situation – a series of stories and images waiting to be considered and discovered. The Cabinet of Keys has seven drawers- a magic number. Each drawer has a different key; each key echoes the shape of the ring stand and colour of the rings hidden within the drawer”
