This exhibition is a continuation of Andy Lowrie’s 2014 brooch seriesSentinels and Spectres. Informed by historic jewellery and craft objects, Sentinels and Spectres captures Andy’s interpretation of landscapes he experiences by fusing natural and manmade elements. The exhibition features new pieces created in Tallinn, Estonia during an internship with Tanel Veenre, renowned jeweller and Associate Professor of Jewellery at the Estonian Academy of the Arts. Sentinels and Spectres reflects on the personal, political and spiritual connections Andy has with his surroundings, and explores how place can be represented through the craft of jewellery making.
