Collection: Sarah Murphy

Rhythm, repetition and movement are the fundamental principles behind my work. I use repetition as a play between worlds of colour movement and shape. In life we experience repetition every day. The simple act of walking, breathing or the sound of our own heartbeat. With every gesture or movement f the human body random, yet syncopated patterns are generated.

The use of repetition in my work creates structure. In our lives the presence of structure gives us a sense that we are in control of our own existence. I enjoy creating jewellery with these characteristics, while exploring how this might affect the relationship between the wearer, the viewer and the piece itself.

The excitement of starting a new project and overcoming the challenges encountered throughout the making process leads to the final sense of satisfaction when the finished object can be held, worn and admired.
