Small Murmur Drop Earrings, 2023

<p>Emmeline Hastings takes a sculptural approach to jewellery, combining unexpected and contrasting materials in her Bristol studio. Utilising her individual and original techniques of hand carving acrylics, embedding them with metallic elements and resins she creates striking, beautiful and contemporary wearable sculpture.</p> <p>Her curious pieces capture an aliveness; fleeting moments of free flowing and rippling textures. They reveal naturalistic forms, surfaces dotted and bristling with glittering metallic elements that shift and change with perspective.  An unmistakable aesthetic with mysterious patterns of gold and silver seemingly organic to the form.</p> <p>Collections: Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; National Museums Northern Ireland, for the Ulster Museum Collection</p>
