Jade Mellor, Fragments of Renewal, Resin, studio fragments 2014
Irreplaceable, this bracelet is made from a unique composition of workshop fragments collected from Jade Mellor's studio. It could not exist without the pieces she made before it. A product of creativity.
A lot of time and care has gone into this piece, to look after it please treat as a ceramic as it can break if dropped or knocked against a hard surface. Liquids and perfumes should be avoided. It can be cleaned if necessary with a soft clean, dry cloth.
Looking at the composition of rocks and how they are formed in a cycle. Even if it takes millennia, each form is a transitional stage and can change to become another if under the right conditions such as heat and pressure or constant weathering. With no beginning and no end they are all connected in a circle. This piece is influenced by diatoms trapped in rock. These microfossils are incredibly important, helping us understand how the Earth formed, tiny time capsules of information contained in stone.
