Design process

Design process

similarly to Beth Legg and Victoria Walker, Church also relies on the natural environment around her for design inspiration (Church, 2012). Church goes on walks and retrieves interesting objects and materials that are useful to the construction of her pieces. Church also creates drawings of the items that she collects to aid her in her design process (Church, 2016).
The below jewel that Church created seems to resemble a type of seed pod.
