Artist's Statement
Working with silver and gold, Donna Barry uses her own customised technique of fusion. She overlaps petal shapes into regular and asymmetrical patterns to create textured sheets. By working and forming the metal in various ways, Donna produces elegant pieces of jewellery resembling objects in nature.
Donna's vocation as a florist for the past five years has provided her with a plethora of shapes and textures to draw inspiration from. Donna works intuitively with her chosen materials, allowing shapes and forms to develop through the making process.
