Using Metaphors of Nature in Jewellery


Carolynn Desch

Carolynn Desch uses Pods, Leaves and petals as metaphors to portray the “the persistent cycle of life and death” and the installations of her exhibition, The Garden Project are focused on the issues of family and childhood, loss, aging, and memory. Below is one of the installations of her exhibition, The Garden Project where she has placed leaves of different stages in a sewing needle box,  these leaves are in sterling silver and they are at different stages of their lifespan, fresh young leaves and older leaves curling up and withering away. This item of jewellery serves as a metaphor for women that are seen the masters of the mundane, “seemingly inconsequential” tasks in life that are often taken for granted.
