Shimara CARLOW – Irish treasures …..

Inspirés par la nature, après une enfance fascinée par les découvertes faites le long des côtes irlandaises, coquillages, galets, plumes, graines de toutes sortes, des bijoux délicats et déliés, comme des enroulements d’herbes …..

« While studying at Glasgow School of Art, I experimented with handmade paper and silver as mediums for creating large sculptural pieces of jewellery and smaller silversmithing pieces. My work has always been very tactile and organic and the use of paper enhances this tactility and also brings a light translucent quality to the pieces. » (Shimara Carlow)
