| On graduation from Sheffield Hallam University in 1998, Rajesh won the
Goldsmiths' Company Silversmithing Award and was one of a few British
silversmiths to participate in the 12th Silver Triennial in Germany. Followed
by graduating in 2000 with an MA at The School of Jewellery, he won the
ABDS Award and also featured in numerous exhibitions and publications
(13th Silver Triennial 2000 in Germany and Beyond Materials in Bangkok).
Rajesh has established an impressive portfolio commanding interest both
nationally and internationally through his unique approach to design. One
of his collections is underpinned by the research and exploration of traditional
and contemporary tea drinking. |

My work involves a synergy of creative ideas and techniques, with designs
informed by the natural world and my immediate, dramatic environment
(the mountains of Snowdonia). The desired end result is inseparable from
the awareness of how it may be achieved. I enjoy exploring techniques and
developing process, seeking new conclusions beyond the obvious.
I am currently experimenting with 'fold-forming', folding sheet metal, forging
and deforming it, then opening out the piece to reveal the 3-dimensional
form. Function is always considered, alongside the aesthetics, and I like to
leave evidence of the process of making in the finished pieces so that
people can see they are formed by hammers and hands. |
