'Special.' Elizabeth Bone

Childhood activities of sewing, knitting and crocheting have given Elizabeth Bone a passion for making and working directly with materials. This new work rekindles her childhood love of making with thread and also introduces colour into her work.

Silk beading thread is used as an alternative way of constructing to 'sew' tubes of oxidized silver together creating lightweight, graphic pieces that are brooches. This construction method coupled with the lightweight nature of the work opens up new opportunities for playing with structures, geometry and scale.
