Rebecca Brook | Jewellery | Devon
Rebecca is a Plymouth based Jewellery Artist who has a great interest in architecture and the decorative arts, in particular Art Deco and Art Nouveau designs. She also has a profound interest in Japanese aesthetics and brings elements of this into her work.
Rebecca experiments with traditional jewellery making processes in a non traditional way.
The designs for this project were made using 3D printing combined with the lost wax casting process, making her ideas into wearable pieces of art.
The inspiration for Rebecca’s collection of enamelled jewellery comes from her interest in encaustic floor tile patterns that can be found on exterior pathways of Victorian period buildings. These tiles are commonly worn away or broken, so Rebecca is re-imagining the design and taking inspiration from their colours.
She uses traditional enamelling skills with modern computer aided design, creating juxtaposition of old and new, approaching her enamelling in an experimental and scientific manner.
