Conroy uses imagery of plants flowers and animals in her contemporary artworks. She focusses on one single motif and repeats that same image in different shapes and sizes in one single jewellery piece to create a collage neckpiece or ring, sometimes she repeats similar motifs across several of her pieces (Boston Voyager, 2018).
Below are three images of
Conroy’s works, in the first image she has repeated a butterfly motif several
times in one piece, in the second and third pieces she has repeated the
butterfly motif as well as the black flowers made from oxidised sterling silver
to create a sculptural collage.
Conroy also uses floral motifs in her wearable pieces where she reflects hand-drawn images of flowers and plants on flat discs of metal, enamel, shell or stone (Boston Voyager, 2018) which she then pierces or etches on to create a sense of negative space.
Below is an image of one of her ‘wearable’ pieces that consist of one single element (Conroy, n.d.). This is an example of how contemporary jewellers can create wearable studio pieces that stem from their contemporary creations.
