Work in Progress Exhibition 2017
Work In Progress
Gate House Gallery Guernsey, May 2017.
“Work in Progress” was an exhibition at the Gate House Gallery which featured a wide range of work from local artists, photographers, architects etc. Highlighting the need for continued arts education in schools, and shedding light on the creative process. My work for this event centres around colour theory and how it has informed my recent work.
For this exhibition at the Gate House Gallery, I was intending to explore colour theory and the science behind it visually, but the project morphed in a direction I wasn’t expecting it to take and I ended up exploring something much more personal. As I started writing about colour I found myself writing not about the colours themselves but about my own personal recollection of them. At which point I realised that I needed to explore colour in a more personal way, specifically what it means to me, creating my own personal rainbow of colour memories. The essays became the focus of my exploration with the actual resulting jewellery taking more of a back seat.
My submission for the Work in Progress exhibition consisted of my own personal reaction to eight different colours in the form of eight essays, each of which had an accompanying necklace as an illustration.

Changing Surfaces 2017
Changing Surfaces 2017 – Harbour Gallery
The Changing Surfaces exhibition opened on Friday 23rd February at The Harbour Gallery in St Aubins, Jersey. This was the first major exhibition of 2017 at the gallery and was timed to celebrate the one year anniversary of it’s grand reopening after the damage from the tragic fire at neighbouring Gallichan Marine in December 2015. My pieces for the exhibition were delayed by pesky fog (part of island life) on their way to – and then again also from the London Assay Office, but finally found their way to Jersey in the nick of time for the opening. These sterling silver cuff bangles have varying surfaces, made by milling, stamping, planishing and engraving. Many thanks to Pat and all the Harbour Gallery team.
