COUP de COEUR ! Karen-Ann DICKEN des bijoux qui ont du piquant !
« My work is based upon the two linked themes of structure and growth. I have a background in interior design, and come from a family of architects which has influenced my work greatly. I aim to create very strong jewellery and objects using the same principles being used in large scale structures such as pylons, bridges and buildings (in particular geodesic domes). These are all structures which use triangulation within its frames to ensure strength. Through scaling down these theories to jewellery scale I am able to create fine and delicate looking structures that are very difficult to break through everyday wear. »
