Prue venables biography of albert einstein

Motivated by a particular interest in functional objects and a search for simplicity, quietness and an essential stillness, I make objects that are pared back, serene and deceptively simple.

Technical expertise, invention and a diversity of references here gently recede, allowing forms to stand innocently and for details and spaces between objects to reflect musical rhythm and even a quiet pause for breath.
