Silver photo-etched and enamelled quilt brooches 2010
I collect images from fabrics, handmade papers, natural forms and my own photographs and reproduce them in metal. Using the techniques of photo-etching, rollerprinting, enamelling and inlay I recreate these images into wearable pictures, giving the pieces the feel of a printmaker's plate and drawing the viewer in.
Jeweller Melissa and Textile Designer Ekta met whilst exhibiting at Origin 2010 and fell in love with eachother's work; this exhibition is the result of their collaboration. Melissa will exhibit hand made silver pieces inspired by quilts and maps using photo-etching, inlay, enamel and gold leaf. Ekta will showcase embroidered quilts based on maps of London and hand-printed silk scarves in her signature bold colours.
