The Art of Ignorance
I am interested in exploring the simple yet massive nature of ignorance. Where it lives in me and around me.
Trained as a silversmith I now work solely with contemporary jewellery art and have replaced the heavy metal to softer materials. I use mainly porcelain, sugar, linen and precious metal thread since I find these simpler.
Inspired by Georgian mourning jewellery and art from the Song Dynasty, especially the Qingbai porcelain work, I use repetative patterns with the subjects of my work being the two pig brothers John and Jonathan, and the cows with calves who every summer roam in the valleys around the house.
My aim is to work gently and slowly.
Here are pictures of the process.
