After many years exhibiting nationally and internationally, Syann van Niftrik has withdrawn to the New Forest where she has lived and worked since 1990. Her interest lies is in the possibilities inherent in the material and the making process. She consciously keeps the methods simple in order to leave room for elements of her subconscious, and the response of the viewer, to take hold. Favoured technique of forging, sometimes linking smaller elements to create articulated pieces, using silver, gold and copper alloys.
