Art in the Environment 2019
The art in the envrioment exhibition was organised by the Guernsey Art Network as a month long outdoor exhibition, inviting comment on the environment. We produced a ‘Carpet of treasure’ out of found objects and semi-precious stones, as our homage to Andy Goldsworthy.

One of the things we love about our work is the fact that our clients approach us with random requests that are right up our street. We loved making these ring pull earrings. Almost as much as this client loves their Mythos.
Made from the ring pull of a can and with a lovely dangle stone, these earrings are one of a kind.

Purple
Coach House Gallery, February 2019.
We were excited to have been invited back to the Coach House Gallery for another exhibition based on colour, following the success of Yellow.
We were delighted to have taken part in the “Purple” exhibition at the Coach House Gallery, St Peters, Guernsey.
This time the theme was the colour ‘Purple.’ This exhibition included work from a group of invited artists
For this exhibition we created a triptych of show stopping jewellery in the best colour ever – purple. Once again, there is an accompanying essay, where we spill the purple beans.
> These are an enriched version of our bestselling style of waterfall earrings, festooned with purple freshwater pearls, a much more elaborate earring.
Lovely and light to wear, but beautifully long, dangly and eye catching, Each pearl hangs separately from the chain, and they spiral around the centre line in such a way that the earrings are a mirror image of each other.
< Mary Quant eat your heart out. Massive blowsy flowers in purple leather, embellished with amethysts and dyed jade hearts. Hugely over the top, outsized and not for the faint hearted. We love making things like these, real show stopping pieces.

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.
