LYNE’S Presentation

MOTH BROOCHES (TRANSITION)

Exploring the notion of transition, these simple moth brooches were designed in response to my changing heart and spirit as my mother succumbed to Alzheimer’s Disease. 

To be honest, I also just love insects and my garden and wanted to explore that as a different approach to much of what I do (which is typically design based and technique focused). 

The simplicity of these pieces make them beautiful and fun to create. Making each component well and with attention to thoughtful details (the minutia) is in my view more important than fancy maneuvers that can overwhelm, serving as both a design choice and an opportunity to forget the world and escape into creating beautiful things. The techniques used in this class can be taken and explored endlessly and well beyond a moth brooch. 

ABOUT LYNE

I’m a professional painter and jewellery artist specialising in expressive abstract and stylised painting & curated wearable art.

Fascination and connection with both nature’s infinite beauty & wisdom, and our inherent human dichotomies, inspire a constant state of play and exploration within & across all I create.

Sometimes playful and childlike – sometimes deeply reflective – each piece is part of an ongoing dialogue between us.
