- Picked by the judges as one of the pieces to be exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery the following month, and went on to appear on the BBC Technology homepage for the day.

Inspired by my residency on Eigg and the experiments I’d done in data visualisation I’d been working on, I spent the two days of Digital Sizzle creating a series of data-driven necklace designs.
I booked some time with a laser-cutter and made six different pieces using plastic, silver and felt.
It was picked by the judges as one of the pieces to be exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery the following month, and went on to appear on the BBC Technology homepage for the day.
I continued to produce bespoke pieces using this method for people. 2 days.
