I moved away from the Abstract Fantasy Landscape paintings in 2022, or at least I thought I had. But as I looked at them, I kept coming back to one thought – how abstract and how fantasy are they really? I felt there were still aspects of the paintings that I hadn’t fully explored yet, namely the lines and the textures. so when I decided to take a jewellery making class it seemed like a great opportunity to continue with this series in metal.
Along with the lines and textures, I felt that I hadn’t fully incorporated the leafy jungle that made Madeira so attractive to me. So I had an idea to create a more three-dimensional jungle amongst the mountains that would fulfil the fantasy element that I wasn’t quite sure about. But on the other hand, I also just really wanted to make little works of art that could be worn, not just hung from a wall.
There are always good intentions, but what I enjoy the most about creativity is that it knows no boundaries in it’s freedom, so let’s see where this ends up! To follow the progress of this collection, subscribe for updates below or click here.
