Light is the main inspiration for my work; my jewellery reflects or refracts light from external sources, or can emit its own light through fluorescence or phosphorescence. Other pieces are inspired by vibrant city lights at night. Overall, my work is often abstract, combining shapes, colours, textures, movement and sounds with a rare use of pictorial themes. I blow miniature hollow components; spherical bubbles or straight drops from colourless glass tube and combine these with handmade precious metal elements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlotte Verity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57304061477237,"sku":"CHV466","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2555\/9248\/files\/CHV466.jpg?v=1781798804"},{"product_id":"male-torso-by-emma-rodgers","title":"Male Torso by Emma Rodgers","description":"\u003cp\u003eCeramic male torso by sculptor Emma Rodgers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: (H) 31.5cm X (W)25cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmma Rodgers is an internationally successful sculptor whose work explores the dynamic relationship between form and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eConfrontation, energy, curiosity, essence of a moment and interaction are the main elements that initially draw me to a new subject and are indicative of the very nature of the animals I have depicted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen approaching a new body of work I produce a large amount of visual research.

Even as a small child growing up in the mid-western United States (New Mexico, Texas and Kansas) I was aware of the light, movements, sounds and spaces of the places in which we lived. But mostly it was a sense of recognition, that it was somehow part of me – an extension of myself. This feeling was both reassuring and frightening. I have therefore always wondered and worried about scale and distance. Something bigger than my comprehension or understanding, but always present, always there. This continuing sensitivity to landscape is at the core of all my work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMost of my landscape paintings are of vast, panoramic, empty places with an ambiguous sense of scale and, also sometimes, of subject matter. For example, is it water or earth that is represented? While my paintings mostly conform to the traditional landscape composition of horizon line, ground and sky, it is the process of painting that allows me to create, imagine and inhabit a more abstract sense of place - the mood and emotion of air, light, land and water from a distance… far away.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Kronenburg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57304068555125,"sku":"LKR01","price":550.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2555\/9248\/files\/LKR01.jpg?v=1781798985"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2555\/9248\/collections\/New_Green_2022_oil_on_canvas_50x50cms.jpg?v=1781702129","url":"https:\/\/bluecoatdisplaycentreshop.com\/collections\/celebrating-north-west-craft-makers-2026.oembed","provider":"Bluecoat Display Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
