Rooted In chaos

My collection “Rooted in Chaos” represents the complexities of human interaction and the order and chaos of communication.

The communication between trees through their interaction with the mycorrhizal network and acknowledging that language is an essential part of organic and human development. This inspired my creative practice.

By using a mixture of traditional silversmithing techniques and developing new ideas by experimenting with traditional and non-traditional mediums and natural and synthetic materials, I experimented with hair and enamel. Although more commonly found in ceramics, Raku is an instant and intuitive process, both unique and innovative where no two designs are the same.

Once done the results are permanent. Juxtapose this with the importance of choosing pertinent language as words once spoken cannot be unspoken.

Choice of words can leave an indelible effect both positive and negative.

Rooted in Chaos is representative of fragility of materials both organic and synthetic and the permanence of creative designs.
