A sunbeam streaming in through your window never fails to bring a little joy, even on the darkest of days. In this spirit, the Ray of Light earring was born, as a sign of optimism in the face of the pandemic. Fast forward to 2022, where we find ourselves ever in the grips of the Coronavirus. Clearly we need many more rays of light to lift our spirits!
This exhibition encompasses dozens of Rays of Light, on a mission to brighten your day. Realised in a variety of colours and textures, each piece incorporates a radiating motif. Brightly-coloured niobium is the primary material, sharing the spotlight with other metallic guest stars. Anodising, engraving and gem setting combine to create many weird and wonderful permutations of the one angular form.
They all seek to express boundless positive energy - that force whereby each ray of sunlight reaches out across space and time to bring us to life.
Accompanying the exhibition will be artist talks, anodising demonstrations, and a host of content delivered via the website and social media channels. Enlightening!
Join the artist Felicity Jane Large for an exclusive studio tour and demonstration of her practice as a part of Craft's curated Virtual Open Studio event on October 8, 2022.
