Angled Acrylic Studs

by Rowena Park

Rowena Park trained at Brighton University before setting up her own workshop in 1982 when she graduated. She works with clear acrylic which is shaped and bent using grinders, saw cuts and polishing grits to achieve the basic shapes, and transparent coloured lacquers combined with gold leaf which are applied to the back surfaces to create the vibrant and sumptuous effects, which are then “viewed” through the acrylic layer. The clear acrylic enhances the jewel like quality of the combination of lacquers and gold leaf by focusing the light into the acrylic and bouncing off from the coloured layer. “I like to work with non precious materials so that the consideration is of the artistic merit not the intrinsic value of a piece. My aim is to create wearable pieces of art within the confines of the field of jewellery.”
