Fragments Make The Whole

Posted on September 27, 2009 at 10:55am 0 Comments

My current work is created from fragments of observation and perception of my environment. I record images during my daily journeys around the city streets of Oxford. Ornamentation and wealth is combined with alternative encounters in the city: graffiti, road kill, rubbish and road markings.



My jewellery consists of these images, which have been cut from old steel cans and fused together. In turn these whole pieces become fragments of new images, reminiscent of ornamental ironwork or… Continue

Donning Oxford-Exhibition of Studio Jewellery at the 03 Gallery, Oxford, UK at O3 Gallery, Oxford, UK

June 2, 2012 at 11am to July 1, 2012 at 4pm
The forthcoming exhibition at the O3 Gallery “Donning Oxford” prompts its artists and audience alike to re-evaluate relationships with the city and to explore and stretch the notions of how or what it is to 'don' Oxford. The artists exhibiting at “Donning Oxford” encompass a wide range of methodologies from conceptual to material exploration. These artists use ‘jewellery’ as a medium or subject within their practice to question assumptions about jewellery itself and to raise questions and…See More

Hi Tamsin!  Of course, I know who you are!  How are you? So great to see you on Crafthaus!  I am just signing on and will probably start posting more in the next week or so.  So busy!

Thanks Tamsin.  I'm glad my studio could inspire you.  Renovating a stable into a studio sounds like a fun project too.  I hope it goes well.

Got it in one! I met Elizabeth at a conference in Western Australia last year - I did her workshop which was amazing - so I'm really looking forward to getting over to the CFPR. I'll be there from the beginning of March, and I'll be going over to Schmuck too, and I finish at the end of the month. Hopefully catch you in Germany, if not in the UK?

Tamsin, your pieces are gorgeous too. I hadn't thought to enamel onto my recycled pieces, I was thinking of using some laser-cut steel works instead. I'm going to be in the UK soon for a residency, specifically to learn more about enamelling. Is there somewhere I can see your work?

Call for artists....

"Behind the Brooch"

I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
