Statement

Abigail Ashmore studied the art of traditional jewellery making at Truro College in Cornwall. Currently selling her work in a gallery in Porthleven she also hopes to be working for another jewellery designer.

“As a designer and artist my senses are my tools, particularly my haptic and visual understanding. I focus on the reasons for the things I make and the emotional attachments I have to them, so I am able to be creative in a way that fulfils my individuality.

I enjoy the accuracy of mathematics in design and as I have found in my latest project, its ability to be unpredictable. Marine life and in particular corals have offered up a new route of exploration, where geometry plays an intrinsic role in the way these creatures develop and grow with an organic appearance.  This geometric formula is an example of a hyperbolic plane.”
