I am developing a new body of work based around the use of nature as inspiration in jewellery. I have been studying 19th and early 20th Century European "en tremblant" jewellery that use different mechanical methods of creating movement in pieces. This research included a handling session at the Museum of London as well as access to the Cheapside Hoard in January 2017. These historical pieces depict nature and the way it moves and I am keen to use these as a starting point to create work that reinvents narrative floral jewellery and in particular investigates the different methods of creating movement. The narrative of nature across different cultures and periods of history is also part of my research for this body of work. My interest is in the Victorian language of flowers and how Asian cultures use floral narrative in their cultural heritage.
