I used glass domes or vetrines to display some of my pieces to enhance their fragility and the idea of containment. I am fanscinated with taxidermy and the way in which we look at animals so I thought these victorian domes were ideal..especially as the two pieces that are inside glass have tiny animals inside them..they are containers inside of containers!
I love this "book shelf" card holder..
This is a red moth inside a scientific slide that I framed in silver..I love building little homes for insects I find..I also encourage the viewing aspect of creatures..
This is an etched silver locket that I built in a tubular shape..it pops open and has a gold victorian style safety chain.
This is a postcard I had made for New Designers..it was recieved really well by everyone who came by my stand so I think it is important to have images to give away, reminding people of your work with something visual.
This locket is etched with a map of North England.
I found a really old microscope to display my moth piece in to encourage people to look closer and become interactive with my work..
