eros and psyche

Two entries for the Goldsmiths’ Craftsmanship and Design Awards 2021

Created during the global pandemic, at a time when access to physical workshops was impossible, I took the opportunity to explore digital drawing for the first time, learning through online platform Skillshare and delving into using new tools and techniques.

The competition brief challenged entrants to design a piece of jewellery or body adornment for a fictional character. It encouraged pushing past the boundaries of what’s creatively or physically possible; designing as you would for a game, film, illustration, or virtual reality.

The designs below represent two entries submitted to the competition with supporting explanation. The headpiece designed for Psyche, received a Bronze Award in the 2D Conceptual Jewellery category.
