In her jewellery practice, Robyn Clarke uses various metal-smithing techniques and materials to create jewellery and objects with pleasing textural surfaces on which to anchor colour and light, to inspire curiosity, touch and memories of places. Her process often begins with a sheet of metal that is manipulated and alchemised, adding layers, texture and colour to reimagine a feeling from my internal catalogue of places, either visited or imagined.
She amplifies the natural beauty of metals with the application use of texture, and using gemstones, vitreous enamel or powder coating to creating harmonious, tactile and wearable pieces. She is drawn to creating work with prescribed repetition of formal shapes as much as she is to their antidote, creating incidental sculptural forms using metalworking techniques which leave space for variable outcomes.
She likes the challenge of finding the comfortable meeting point between the different styles.
