The framework of my latest collection is based
upon iconography from Alchemy intertwined with futuristic themes. The
collection explores a fundamental alchemical practice of liberating matter from
its restricted properties into a further enhanced state. Through deconstructing
existing garment shapes and re-mastering the form I have drawn a parallel to
this alchemical practice.
Futuristic themes are explored through the
manipulation of simple geometries into distinct forms, alluding to alchemical
motifs through the arrangement of their structure. A series of individually
crafted elements have created a distinct visual signature whilst retaining an
artisanal sensibility. The arrangement created through this technique portrays
motifs and symbols suggesting various principles of the art.
The collection maintains a innovative colour palette of copper, cream and black, focusing on the current state of
metals and the gradual progression into a refined state.
All elements of the collection are hand
made, from rolling the coils and melting the coiled pieces to one another.
