EMMELINE HASTINGS
CRYSTALLINE 31 October – 27 November 2018 Crystalline presents new work from jeweller Emmeline Hastings. With a background in sculpture, Emmeline Hastings demonstrates a unique approach to jewellery. Graduating in 2009, she has contributed to major UK and international exhibitions to great acclaim. Emmeline combines unexpected and contrasting materials in her Bristol studio. She uses her personally developed techniques of hand carving perspex acrylic and embedding it with metallic elements to create striking, beautiful and contemporary wearable sculpture. Her pieces capture fleeting moments; something glimpsed and remembered. Her ephemeral jewels reveal rough crystalline forms, surfaces dotted with glittering metallic elements that shift and change in colour and perspective. Working in perspex acrylic, her pieces are light and wearable with mysterious patterns of gold and silver seemingly organic to the form.

“All of my work shares an ephemeral quality while being eminently wearable. I create mysterious miniature landscapes through a unique visual language. I hope to make associations with varying natural phenomenon through this individual making process.” - Emmeline Hastings, 2018
