About
Based in the quiet Somerset countryside, Sia Taylor brings a poetic, painterly approach to her creations; capturing ephemeral moments in tiny golden forms, enabling them to be worn close to the skin. Sia’s practice is slow and organic; looking, thinking, conceptualising and drawing, followed by intense periods of technical development to conjure the mood and movement of her imaginings. Working with a small team of locally-based artisan jewellers, each element is meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques – minute leaves are skilfully cut, dots are painstakingly melted, and tiny beads are drilled with precision.
Eschewing the fast-paced schedule of jewellery trade shows, Sia believes collections should grow in their own time; allowing nature’s shifting skies, her ideas and evolving technical practice dictate her workflow – always staying true to the feeling she is trying to evoke.
Exhibiting at FORGE as part of The Secret Garden Showcase, 1 May – 1 June.
