Canopy

Katie’s playful, characterful hand modelled ceramics introduce flora and fauna to the CANOPY. Some are more certain of their identities and place in a forest than others, but they are all here to find their home. A stag, a lion and a horse are accompanied by a few stray sheep, one with a woman’s head, a warthog, a piglet, some bunnies and a band of three tricksy looking minky pussy cats. A leaning tree with a mossy rock attached provides some shelter.

Sarah Drew, Jeweller

Sarah Drew’s jewellery is both delicate and robust, developed from observations, feelings and things found in dreamy Scandinavian forests: twigs, bark, moss and seeds. Necklaces, rings, bangles and brooches are physical souvenirs, tethering memories of place to something that can be worn. Some elements degrade over time, or are designed to hold some new found thing, inviting interaction with the wearer. Crochet, poetry and patinated copper are used to emulate criss-crossing branches. Fused zero waste silver is enamelled with earthy hues seen in wondrous roots.

Donna Burns, Jeweller

Donna Burns’s jewellery is inspired by the play of light through leaves and branches that creates glistening brightness against dark shadow. Semi-precious beads in hues of green are combined with copper and silver leaf shaped forms to create wearable objects that move to capture and emanate light.

In the spirit of the woodland network, Sarah, Katie and Donna have supported each other in creating this exhibition, drawing inspiration from each other to create new elements for the pieces on show.
