IN RESPONSE

A collaboration between University for the Creative Arts, Farnham and the Crafts Study Centre, Farnham.

Colour  plays an important role in my work and when exploring the archives at  the Crafts Study Centre, I was drawn to the saturated colours and  shimmering, iridescent surfaces in Geoff Roberts’ jewellery, which was  then translated into weaving through the use of Lurex yarn mixed with  spun silk and nylon monofilament. The use of copper wire in the weft  also allows each woven piece to be manipulated by hand, creating a  series of experimental samples which echo the curved, sculptural forms  in the jewellery by Roberts.
