Jane Frances Reilly creates colourful designs inspired by her surrounds of home and garden. Titled 'Apron', these earrings are an excellent example of her focus.
On one side, these earrings feature block colours of black, purple and blue-grey, as well as hand-drawn black swirling lines running vertically one one earring, and horizontally on the other. On the reverse side, black lines and dots again mark portions of the white and black surface. These earrings are versatile because they can be worn with either side facing the front.
Copper, sterling silver, paint.
Length from piercing: 50mm
Width of earrings: 22mm
With training in both ceramics and jewellery making, Jane Frances Reilly brings to life her surroundings in blocks of bright colour and monochromatic line. Her motifs and mark-making are like drawings that tell stories of memories, and Reilly takes inspiration from the home, garden, footpaths and roads. Although responding to her immediate surroundings, Reilly’s pieces are in fact an abstraction of her world.
Working predominantly in copper, paint and sterling silver, Reilly’s pieces possess a playful presence.
