Cam Life Designs
I am a multifaceted creator combining jewellery design, weaving, sound, coaching, AI and art into my practice. My pieces express my love for life and connection, creating testimonies of my resilience and courage facing multiple cancers. I explore various forms, textures and colours to create pieces inviting the viewer to appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience. Through my work, I aim to communicate my personal story and vision, empowering others to discover and unleash their own creative potential. I also seek to capture the nuance between life and death, and to celebrate the preciousness and fragility of existence.
Jessica Crisp
My work is self expressive, looking back over prints I can see the reflections of my preoccupations at the time of making. My recent work references familiar domestic vessels, spaces and worn natural textiles, reflecting the ambivalence I feel towards identification with domestic settings. The natural world made expendable in the maintenance of our comfort in a modern ‘civilised’ society. I am interested in the familiar reflective spaces and materials of daily life – the hand holds by which we move from day to day. I think about the sequential rhythms of the way we look, the conceptual leaps we make between words and image, and the use of juxtaposition to construct and reconfigure meaning.
