Whitby jet is a prehistoric black fossil mainly associated with Victorian mourning jewellery but now rare. Jacqueline Cullen has developed innovative formats allowing the natural beauty of the material to speak for itself removed from connotations of death and morbidity. Inspired by dramatic acts of nature, the breaking up of a bold fluid form is central to her work where fissures and crevices release a luxurious cascade of textured gold or glittering diamonds. Jacqueline Cullen is the only person working with Whitby jet in a non-traditional way and she remains committed to introducing this ancient and sensual material to a contemporary audience.
