Iron Identity evokes and commemorates this identity using oxides, coarse finishing, and sturdy construction. I use colours associated with industrial machinery and abandoned sites – bright colours that contrast signs of rust and deterioration. Transporting this aesthetic to the body allows it to be worn close, displayed with pride and given reverence as a jewellery object.
Underneath the surface oxides and decoration, is something sturdy and comforting, like my home is to me.
