This piece was inspired by the Lowry Center at Salford Quays. I have chosen
to commemorate this building because it hosts some of Britain’s most
talented artists’ and serves as a physical reminder of how much Manchester's
Salford Quays has changed over the past 100 years.
The concept of using the body as a foundation for the work led me to create
this bracelet structure that, to me, mimics what the Lowry Center embodies;
an architectural play between weight and form while hinting at the vibrant
colour found internally.
The way that the bracelet engages with the wearer's arm creates an exciting relationship between the soft organic nature of human skin revealed and the structural lines and weight that keeps it in place.
