Inspired by architecture, sculpture, art, sci-fi, the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi and embracing simplicity and imperfections.

Bill’s works utilises some of the the most common of materials such as steel, brass and acrylic in which scale is limited only by imagination, blurring the lines between practical items and sculpture, jewellery and fine art

Bill’s practice began around 2005 with a focus on jewellery and accessories for all genders. Almost inevitably the scale of projects continued to grow in size where his business Lapel Industries grew from a small scale jewellery studio, to a full scale fabrication workshop catering to custom builds from shop fits outs, arts fabrication and furniture.

This line of product has seen Bill come back to his roots after years of refinement, an almost obsessive need to make, and a deep appreciation of industrial forms and aesthetic.
