Caitlin Murphy
2023 Bursary Stand Recipient
Caitlin Murphy is an award winning Northern Irish maker. Her work is centred around high levels of accuracy and precision, folding and working with metal as if it is paper. Caitlin’s work began during the pandemic and over time has transitioned from paper to precious. Caitlin challenges the boundaries of silversmithing and jewellery, making work that has a place on the wall as well as the table in an artistic and sculptural style. Woven precious and non precious metals of 0.1mm are attached to steel and silver frames, coming to life as 3 dimensional objects with optical illusion patterns.
