Titled 'Paddle', these studs are an excellent example of Reilly's focus and whimsical creativity, with her signature etched line sketches.
Enamelled red, each stud features a straight line connected to a round-ish shaped disc. Each stud is decorated with a black etched pattern, with elements of scalloping and dots contained within a squared border. On the reverse of each stud is a grouping of lines, one vertical and one horizontal.
Materials: Copper, sterling silver, enamel paint
Dimensions: 46mm x 38mm x 1.8mm
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.
