Inspiration 11
I'm completely smitten over Grainne Morton's one-off jewelry designs (found recently via Julie of handmaidby).
She begins by collecting obscure and miniature objects which are both formed and found. The found materials can include pressed flowers, old buttons, shells, pebbles, sea glass, printed tin and graphics/print. She complements these with formed elements creating handmade objects such as enamel work, miniature drawings and punched metal shim. These are then grouped into collections and housed in handmade boxes.
There's something so complex about old objects, they always leave traces of memories even when they aren't your own. I really love how each piece of Grainne's is steeped in found nostalgia.
Recently, I've also been feeling inspired by Robert Ryan's papercuts. (via thoughts from the bus stop)
Romantic. Melancholy. Delicate. I love the contrast of the finely cut imagery against the unsettling messages found in his pieces... peer in a little closer and look and then look again.
To see & read even more about Ryan's work take a visit to Paul Smith (via ulla).
