Jane Frances Reilly creates colourful designs inspired by her surrounds of home and garden. Titled 'Simple Apron', these earrings are an excellent example of her focus.
On one side, these earrings feature block colours of teel and purple, as well as hand-drawn black lines and dots highlighting borders and edges. On the reverse side, the concave and conves black lines again mark portions of the black surface. These earrings are versatile because they can be worn with either side facing the front.
Copper, sterling silver, paint.
Length from piercing: 52mm

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.
