"We will clothe ourselves in beautiful cages"
My enamelled earrings with citrine briolette drops on oxidised sterling silver ear wires. Decorated with images inspired by the exquisite wrought iron galleries at the Victoria and Albert Museum . The golden hues on the enamel on this pair remind me of Japanese lacquer-ware boxes, so I enamelled them on the back with a bright red enamel for contrast.
My first line is taken from a poem written during lockdown. We live behind closed doors, standing behind our balconies ( some of which are beautiful wrought iron) This made me reflect on us being like caged birds, unable to live normal lives, and yearning for freedom. Perhaps we need to make them "beautiful cages"? So let's start with our ears!
Materials: Vitreous enamel on copper, oxidised silver and citrines
Total length: 60mm (6cm)
