Mesh is a collection of tactile objects that can be worn as jewellery or displayed and treasured—a contemporary collection of wearable pieces with supple forms, applied with enamel and encased in silver.
Woven mesh is the principal material used within the work. Rather than acting as a barrier, the mesh lures you in, inviting you to touch it. No longer restrictive or impermeable, the mesh is playful and intriguing.The work’s neutral colour palette amplifies the surface details and scatters light as it passes through the pieces onto the body. Light is an integral material within the work; channelled and forced into focus, penetrating through the mesh, creating an interplay between light and the object.
The Mesh collection adopts a minimalist approach to design, in which form and function are inherently linked. Objects are created with a dual purpose so they can be worn and used.
Mesh 0.152 is a series of wearable pieces that also function as lids for a collection of vessels. Each piece contains three component parts; a chased or press-formed mesh sheet, and vitreous or wet process enamel encapsulated in a sterling silver circular surround.
Mesh 0.2 is a pair of sterling silver whisky cups with an 18ct gold plated press formed mesh structures at the centre.
Mesh 0.8 is a series of large experimental brooches consisting of layers of various gauges of enamelled steel mesh and perforated sheet.
