Entry description
‘My jewellery collection is inspired by DNA structures, chains and links as the powerhouse behind all living cells. Convolute is the result of an exploration of hi-energy through materiality, form and colour coupled with the use of low/residual-energy production techniques. During the casting process, harnessing the energy generated by the molten pewter, hand-sliced, faceted, and lapped waste glass inclusions were set into place, suggesting a sustainable plique-à-jour effect for the contemporary market.’
