I work using the lost wax method, which gives a rather organic quality,  showing even my fingerprints. In a world where 3d printing and AI help us create objects like never before, I feel a simple finger print, and human wonkyness radiates a rare and special quality. Mainly producing one off pieces, so completely unique one of a kind.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" data-originalfontsize=\"12pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eThese are my first collection in gold, and I went for solid 18ct, as I can never get out of my head 2 exhibitions I saw. One was the gold museum in Cape Town, South Africa (which shut in 2016) and the other was 'beyond El Dorado' at the British Museum in 2013. Both blew my mind, the sheer complexity and beauty of early African and pre Colombian gold had me speechless. The pieces I saw on display have served as continuous inspiration, and the colours that come from 18ct gold and above will always have my heart.’\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" data-originalfontsize=\"12pt\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatasha Ratcliffe was born in 1982 in Stockport and currently resides and works in Falmouth, Cornwall. Each bronze jewellery piece is a one-off design and completely hand-crafted by Natasha. Alongside jewellery, Natasha also creates beautiful and unusual contemporary art medals, which are each produced as one of a small edition:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“What is a medal, if it is not fought for or awarded, worn upon ribbons or like badges with honour? Medals have long existed beyond this stereotype, as a realm for artistic expression, depicting not only portraits and events, but contemporary thought. I make medals; I am as they call me, a medallist. I carve, model, sculpt, cast, strike and engrave. I do this because the form forces me to think a little harder, to have a little more attention to detail. The constraints of the form are merely boundaries to push against. Conversations can be had between the two sides. The intimacy of the size encourages a physical engagement. The content is forced to condense, often resulting in tactile pieces, with ideas and concepts far larger than size might suggest. Contemporary art medals are often highly politicized and are reactions to events and feelings of the time.” - Natasha Ratcliffe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sale is for the item only.
