Beatrice Reseigh

The collection of work responds to the context of jewellery, however, each are oversized. The ceramic and resin Big rings are partially figurative due to their response to the familiar form of a gem set upon a circular shank. The resin and silver bird rings and laser cut polypropylene and silver lay within me are corresponding to the issue of size and the nature of jewellery, but also relate as a metaphor of subject to maker. Bea believes they are a cohesive group, but also have individual identities. The diverse materials and techniques employed are both traditional and contemporary.

The body of work originated whilst researching the theory of feminine aesthetics and reading The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir.

De Beauvoir has had a profound effect on her understanding of the position she held as the eldest girl within the structure of her family, therefore leading Bea to create this body of work. The collection of jewellery is extremely autobiographical, referencing her own memories as a young girl.
