‘More than a stick’
An exploration into the beauty of nature as wearable art by Jacqui Renton Jewellery
"Before they were brooches and neck-pieces they were a box of driftwood, hollow knots and twisted roots. When I looked at this collection I knew they were 'more than a stick'."
You are invited to the opening night of Jacqui Renton's exhibition ✨
'More Than A Stick' brings together a collection of jewellery, neck-pieces and brooches, featuring the beauty of driftwood.
Shaped by time and tide, this collection ranges from smooth and sun bleached to hollow and deeply textured. These natural qualities are paired with both traditional and unexpected materials; pearls, silver, gold leaf, acrylic ink, and steel cable...
Each piece embraces the individuality of the wood and the traces of its former life. What might first appear as a simple stick or a twisted root becomes something more when placed centre stage. Each piece becomes a sculptural piece of wearable art, co-created with nature.
