Anthony
Roussel
The synthesis
between drawing and architecture are the fundamental re-occurring
themes in Anthony’s work. The jewellery he creates function
as sculptural objects as well as wearable pieces of body adornment
in their own right.
His work takes on a transient nature with delicate flowing lines
that suggest the source of his inspiration. The British coastline
is a key influence in the forms that Anthony designs with.
Predominately, he works with wood that is laser cut. The tactile,
symbolic and inherent qualities of this material draws him closer
to working with it. His designs are also combined with precious
metals. With the use of wood, he questions the traditional notions
of preciousness. In using new technologies as a tool, Anthony challenges
existing perceptions of craft.
