Saskia Gavin finds inspiration in her environment, natural and manmade. She is attracted to form, and texture, and to the rhythms of repeating elements. These are the building blocks of her work, which is sculpture on a wearable scale.
Her current collection, Hutton’s Section, recognises James Hutton’s theories of rock formation. The influence of the rocky landscape is clearly visible in this work featuring striking interrupted lines and kinetic pieces, the etched inner surfaces contrasting with the smooth outer ones, like rocks which seem so solid, yet from time to time, splinter and tumble.
