Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
During my Masters degree I developed a range of jewellery that uses plaster as a main component. While plaster has long been used in architectural decoration, the plaster I use has been chemically changed with modern products to create an altered material that is waterproof and suited for use in jewellery production. I am continuing to explore surface decoration through image transfers and decorative metal fittings on the plaster, combined with decorative and functional metal fittings to create functional pieces of jewellery.
The images and forms I use come directly from my photos and drawings, based on objects seen on my visits to museums and stately homes. My interest in the forms, patterns, and images from the rich history of European design inspires this collection of contemporary jewellery."
I decided to make quick Photoshop images that put my original inspirations with the finished pieces. I feel like these images make the pieces instantly understandable, and they almost make an artist statement completely unnecessary! I think I'll keep playing around with this idea and think of ways to incorporate this concept in future photos of my work.
