The great reveal; This is the piece I have been collaborating with on, for the Collar project.
It is a re-imagining of the lunula- for the modern age, drawing inspiration from the Ór collection
The marking from this time resonate with us as an Irish people, though there meanings may be lost.
Through the act of mark making, emulating the patterns of old we forge a connection through the ages, blending the very patterned embellishments of that time with the clean lines and asymmetry of today, to forge something new, yet recognisable.
It was such a pleasure to collaborate with the very talented glass artist Fiona Byrne on this project, and I am delighted with our finished piece. Her finely patterned pâte de verre elements have a beautiful textural surface, the raised patterns catching the light and casting gentle descriptive shadows, while the white of the pâte de verre has an almost luminescent quality to it.
