Jane Moore
The inspiration for most of Jane’s jewellery comes either directly from her environment or from aspects of distant lands that have a special appeal to her. Jane feels far more allied to painting than sculpture and her work tends to be largely two dimensional. Jane’s ideas are first drawn on paper as pure pictorial images without necessarily considering them as jewellery designs – “this enables my imagination to work freely without reference to the constraints imposed by the technical limitations of the various media”. Only when Jane arrives at a pleasing image does she begin to consider whether it is technically possible to transpose the idea to a jewellery context. Occasionally the techniques just do not exist to achieve this successfully without losing the essential aesthetic appeal of the original drawing. This has often spurred Jane to experiment and invent new solutions without compromising too much on the idea. Continual investigation of new processes and mediums are what compel, stimulate and challenge Jane’s creative process.
