My newest addition to my "MOTH" series is the Polyphemus Moth inspired necklace. The Polyphemus Moth is a rare sighting in Saskatchewan, a nice surprise when discovered one evening at Lake Diefenbaker by myself and a previous find in the rhubarb patch by my father.
I have taken this organic theme and provided it with an industrial aesthetic by creating it out of a combination of three metals, adding colour with the surface treatments of anodizing the reactive metals, titanium and niobium and oxidizing the sterling silver, giving it a richness and enhancing the textures. The metallic tones compliment the flashes of greens and reds in the opals and the cherry reds in the tiny garnets.
