"For over 20 years, I have been focused on the creative use of precious wire in jewellery. It is incredibly satisfying to transform a solid ingot of metal by hand into very fine, flexible threads of wire and to be able to turn these into wearable pieces of jewellery."
"Wire has become the natural medium through which I can translate my ideas into objects, I am able to create volume, texture and pattern and its infinite potential keeps driving my practice."
Andrew Lamb's work is deeply rooted in the rich heritage of traditional goldsmithing, drawing inspiration from techniques refined over thousands of years. His practice seeks to push the boundaries of aesthetic expression while maintaining a high level of technical mastery. By utilising specialised wire-working techniques and exploring both precious alloys and unconventional materials like titanium, Andrew creates pieces that blend innovation with tradition. Additionally, he incorporates optical illusions and natural visual patterns, reflecting the dynamic ways in which we perceive and interpret the world around us.
