ADELE TAYLOR
I’m an obsessive hoarder, I pick up interesting objects usually because of their texture, (I always have pockets full of rubbish) from rusting washers, to bits of broken car indicator plastic. I then cast these objects in silver and 18 ct gold to create a piece of jewellery or as part of a small scale object, such as a tiny flower vase just big enough for a single flower.
Often these hoarded objects are a reminder of a time when things were gathered, on a holiday for example, and therefore the piece of jewellery has a hidden significance.
My family have now joined in with the gathering of things which is perpetuating and evolving a continuous evolution of my work.
Platinum ring from the hoardings range is one of the winners of the Platinum Collection Design Innovation Award 2003, organized by NCA Ltd.
