Sacred Geoms |
Saturday 4 and Sunday 5, 10am to 4pm
"Sacred Geoms" is a collaboration between Oya Demirbilek and Phillippa Carnemolla. These two Industrial Designers have explored the universal influence of geometry on generations of philosophical thought and religious culture and present a unique selection of both hand crafted and computer generated jewellery and sculpture. Oya's work has been inspired by the geometric patterns of Iznik and 13th-century Seljuk glazed ceramic mosaics. All of her pieces are lovingly crafted with glass bugle beads, silver beads, glass marbles and crystals. Phillippa works with etched copper, silver and gold to developing a selection of sculpture, amulets and earrings. Her pieces are inspired by the Sacred Geometry of the Universe - the essence of Nature, the Bees, and the precision and harmonics of our Plant Life. |
