Brooch: Giant brooch by Sally Collins.Mixed media. 2008.The main focus of my work lies in the exploration of the evolution of form and ornamentation. In my most recent body of work ‘Make Do and Mend’ I have created a range of jewels from second-hand fabric, crochet, lace, heat treated copper and gold- plated elements. I aim to explore a traditionally domestic approach to recycling and sustainability, whilst following the progression of form and decoration through an evolution of scale, density and eccentricity. I create wearable compositions through the layering of pattern, colour and form with an emphasis on excess detailing and frills, taking pleasure in unusual or abundant combinations of fabrics and textures..
