Creative practice

Over the last few days, we have talked a lot about creative practice and how, without really noticing it, we do the same things over and over again. It has made me look at my work in a different light and understand that for most, if not all of my jewellery career, I have been fascinated by repetition.



Surprisingly though, I was unaware that I expressed this through floral imagery, and shapes that are consistent with leaves, petals and other parts of flowers i.e the centre circles and stems.



This necklace was made years ago, it has been on my wall in the office for a few days and it was only this morning that i noticed that my most recent work, which explores repeated floral imagery, is really not a million miles away from the work I made almost ten years ago!!
Its true, sometimes we cant see whats right in front of us. Im going to be gathering imagery of my work to give a talk to my students next week about my creative practice. Im looking forward to what I may discover!!
