Esme Parsons – 2014 -urbanisation necklace
Esme Parsons graduated from University for the Creative Arts (UCA) Rochester in 2014 having completed her Ba Hons degree in Silversmithing, Goldsmithing and Jewellery, since then Esme has moved to Edinburgh to take up a post as Artist-in-Residence at Edinburgh College of Art.
Esme takes inspiration from urban spaces to create industrial miniatures of the city to be worn on the body.
Esme specialised in enamelling and is a member of the Guild of Enamelers and the British Society of Enamelers, but she also specialised in acid etch, of which all her designs are hand drawn.
« this is a range of jewellery created for my Final Major Project at UCA Rochester, the range is based on the urban landscape examining areas that usually go unnoticed or are deemed unsightly, such as barbed fencing, satellite dishes, scaffolding… with colours inspired by the vibrant colours of graffiti, posters, and road markings. i find the diversity of urban areas an endless source of inspiration, and amazing places to explore. all my work is hand made as i believe in the preservation of craft through hand made objects. »
