New in the drawers: Thea Clark
Thea Clark’s new series combines unexpected textures and unusual materials. In her words: “" Fluidity and Form” examines how we experience identity and the changing self. Objects are transformed into images on silk through the cyanotype process, rendered the classic blue of this technique. Chosen for their emotional resonance pearls, chains, nests, and circles signify protection, domesticity, and nurturance. This pink and blue play on deep-seated associations, anima, animus, yin and yang which… Continue

Curate's Egg
Strange day today: some things good, some bad, "good, in parts"!
Continue
Bad: my microwelder (hydro-flame) broke down; someone stole my tube-cutter; one of the students has hacked a coil of wire into multiple lengths as they were too lazy to look for the end.
Good: I finished a bangle -
Made from iron nail, silver,…

Long Weekend
Just back from a long and relaxing weekend in Brighton with a brief sojourn to London, primarily to see the David Watkins exhibition at the V&A.
Continue
The Watkins exhibition was a touch disappointing as there wasn't very much in it, perhaps 20 - 30 pieces, all jewellery but the Silver Gallery and the jewellery collection at the V&A never fails to please.
Some photographs from this visit:…

Interview with me in SO Rhode Island Magazine
I was recently interviewed for what I thought was going to be a short side-bar piece about myself and my role as Gallery Director at Hera Gallery... However, when I picked up the latest issue of SO Rhode Island Magazine, a local Arts & Entertainment Monthly, I was surprised to see a full page portrait of myself smiling (awkwardly) back at me.
Despite the intimidating full…

Completed - Trouble With Lichen
Finally finished my ring, "Trouble With Lichen", made from the corroded push-rods of a Ford Fairlane, found in a river at Campo Ligure, Italy. It is not a typical piece. I think that this is because I did almost no preparatory drawings for it and it came almost directly from the form of the material and the stones chosen for it.

Since returning from Istanbul, it has been non-stop in the workshop, preparing work for orders and making some new pieces too. I've sidelined a number of works-in-progress in order to get on with more pressing issues, so there are no updates on my Chanel-inspired piece or my tribute to Alexander McQueen, though I have progressed apace with my first foray into electronics in jewellery, "14th Century Nightlife" which I hope to finish finally this coming week after it sitting on my bench for…See More

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists.
