Slatted Shadows and Reflections

The image of the sunlight making slatted shadows on the wall reminded me of what I love about the kind of jewellery I make – repetition of parallel cuts.

All these fabulous photographs were taken by Matthew Booth who skilfully created exactly the kind of photos I had envisaged and intuitively understood how to transform mere objects into visions extending into the reflective surfaces.

All these pieces are made in Sterling silver and are available for sale from the Online shop

Sunlight

Photography

I am lucky enough to live in a house which is sunlit nearly all day, intensified by mirrors. I noticed this pot of daffodils was being lit from the “wrong” side, from the north, the sunlight was no longer falling on the table but was being reflected back onto the daffodils by a mirror. It gave the room a lovely sense of being lit up from inside.

Later, when the sun had moved round to the back of the house it was much weaker but still made some interesting shadows through the wooden slatted blind on the Spode “Velamour” vase.
