We are pleased to welcome Lucy Elisabeth Wirework to our exhibitor list for the next Independent Interiors Show which will be taking place on September 27th.
Lucy specialises in freehand wirework art which she has developed from the wirework
techniques which she also uses to create jewellery. The themes she uses are mainly based on images of flora/fauna, although she also takes on commissions, if you have something more specific in mind.
Lucy works 'freehand,' meaning she doesn't use a template, or hold and shape the wire
over any scaled up image. She uses three basic tools to create her work,
long and round nose jewellery pliers and a pair of cutters. Images are
then either 2D mounted onto watercolour card, or 3D works have 'stalk
extensions' from the work, meaning it supports itself. The images she works
from are just sketches or pen line drawings from life and photos,
although sometimes she does go directly to just 'drawing with the wire'.
Using
coated copper and silver plated jewellery wire means it is malleable
and adaptable to most designs. The wire comes in so many different
gauges and colours that similar designs can be created and yet look
totally individual, bold and linear or detailed and delicate.
