For our invites for the show at Prospect Gallery we decided to make seed packets. The information we printed onto stickers and inside we have a mixture of seeds for people to plant, grow and enjoy.
Beer and pizza was involved....
Piles of invites. It was a little tedious as we had to do 700 of them but worth the effort I think.
Mycology – the study of fungi is what inspires me to create artworks. I am fascinated by this fifth kingdom that not only produces amazing forms and structures of a wide variety of species but also is an important life force for this planet. Fungi play an important role in ecosystems by breaking down and recycling nutrients.
My work consists of using traditional silversmithing techniques while experimenting with different metals, surface treatments, patination applications.
Exploring size, form, colour and movement gives my practice many layers just like the growth of fungi. This has led me to create small and large scale forms using multiples, including jewellery, wall pieces and installations, while incorporating a variety of different materials.
I am drawn to the multiple intricacies which make up this amazing kingdom.
