About
Art jeweller Emma Rose Lawrence is also a self-taught bead-smith. Inspired by the vast body of beadwork produced by many hands, as well as the wider material culture of adornment she aims to create unique bold jewellery. Combining her lust for life, fascination with the infinite expressions of human creativity, regard for the natural world and a deep respect for exemplary craft, each piece has been thoughtfully hand-made using traditional techniques. Juxtaposing clean lines with intricate details, bold clashing colour with monotone metalwork her work is playful, well crafted and invites a closer look. Influenced by her degree in Anthropology to view adornment as social agent she invites the wearer to begin a joyful engagement with her pieces.
Exhibiting at FORGE as part of The Secret Garden Showcase, 1 May – 1 June.
