This bangle was made in collaboration with Van Gogh House, the former residency of Van Gogh in London.

For this collaboration, I took wax impressions of the grain of the 200 year old floorboards and manipulated them and cast them in silver. The recorded texture is an accumulation of marks made by the people that have lives in the house. The habitudinal scuff of feet as they move from the bed, to the door, to the window define the marks on the floorboards that become important and are recorded in this pendant.

The final image shows the bangle that I kept from this collab (couldn’t resist!!) with the really nice natural oxidisation that has occurred on it since wearing it daily over the last couple of years.
