"‘Poof’ was one of those insults that hit different as a kid; like a happy slap on an already embarrassed face. A lot of my recent work has been about reclaiming words, taking back ownership, wearing them with pride. The ring was made in the image of the traditional working-class name ring, used to honour someone. I’m choosing to honour acceptance. Thank you to @nino.jewellery for bringing this idea to life for all your hard work over the last year".
