Jewellery by Cari-Jane Hakes
Elloughton, East Yorkshire. UK
Cari-Jane Hakes learned how to design whilst training as an Architect at Bath and Cambridge University, England. Whilst learning how to design buildings and bridges she became fascinated with the details that scale these pieces down to the size of a human hand - a door handle, a handrail, a window reveal.
She began to learn the discipline of goldsmithing at Morley College, London in 2005. She released her first collection in 2007.
Her designs draw on her architectural work, works of literature (in particular Italo Calvino) and historical myths and stories employed by northern native tribes and clans.
She works in series, abstracting these themes into wearable sculptures.
Her work has been published by Lark Books and exhibited online. Most recently, her work was accepted by Cortland Dewitt and Sharon Massey for Supbrooch 2013.
