Yvonne Gilhooly’s aim is to clearly illustrate the design process from start to finish. A poem becomes an image, suggests a texture or shape. A single line becomes a circle, suggests a solid, transforms into a sphere, is pierced to allow the light to reference the void within. The thought becomes the reality, these link together, form and reform to evolve into complimentary pieces of the same story – the inspiration becomes the creation. Process is key as designs continue to develop whilst at the bench. Using traditional goldsmithing skills, Yvonne responds intuitively to materials. Recent work showcases a bold combination of gemstones and precious metals in an exploration of poetic geometry. Ultimately Yvonne’s aim is to create covetable, thought-provoking jewellery.
