Roman Brooch as ring
A week of my life spent there has stayed in me with a great intensity – the mossy, latticed ground studded with berries; the rocky coast seemingly held together with lichens; the sense of a huge uninhabited centre just full of pine trees.
It also refers to the jewellery and boxes I have made from metal detecting finds – the everyday bronze remnants of history found in great quantity in this country. They have lain hidden for hundreds and hundreds of years, part of an unseen, underground world and I wanted them to find a new found life above ground, set into a new landscape.
