About Jane
Jane Adam's jewellery explores the dynamics of colour, mark-making and surface texture. Her techniques are based on experimentation and observation, encouraging forms to grow organically through stretching and distortion, typically transforming a geometrically simple basic shape into a tactile three-dimensional object which may evoke natural forms. Jane is passionate about the individual’s experience of her work. She believes jewellery fulfils a profound need for self-expression and as such is one of the most ancient forms of art. There is a magical moment when the right wearer puts on the right piece. When jewellery is not being worn, it may appear as an interesting object but its potential is unfulfilled.
