1960’s Acrylic Jewellery
"The design brief required me to create a unique jewellery set inspired by, and creatively incorporating designs within the 1960’s. I was influenced by 1960’s art, colour schemes, shapes and patterns, in particular optical illusion art by artist Bridget Riley. I also drew insight from pieces by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Florence Broadhurst. My aim was to construct a vibrant and eccentric jewellery collection, that skillfully reflects and captures the essence of 1960’s design. Researching into the events that shaped design movements of the 1960’s, I developed intrigue for 60’s interior design, exploring the bright and innovative works of Bauhaus, Marimekko, Arthur Elrod and Barbara D’Arcy. I became aware of the influence earth's first artificial satellite, launched in 1957 had on 1960’s design, starting the dawn of the ‘space age’."
