The work for the exhibition Confined is composed of a series of vitreous enamel brooches with mono print displays or sanctuaries. The jewellery is an amulet offering protection against the fear and anxiety of being Confined. When worn or placed in the display, hung on the wall the amulet offers the owner the solace and benefit of nature. There is an underlying widespread belief that things in the natural world have a power and I conjecture these circles symbolic of nature afford comfort in a climate of confinement.  Here’s a peek at one of the pieces.
