Designer: Grainne MortonMaterial: 18k gold-plated silver, coral and vintage glass.Dimensions: 111mm x 5mm About Grainne Morton: Born and raised in Northern Ireland, by creative and antique-loving parents, Grainne was immersed in and surrounded by the traditional Crafts, Folklore, Music and Fairy Tales of the country. Moving to Edinburgh, Scotland, in the late eighties to study at Edinburgh College of Art was the jump off point for Grainne to become an avid collector of antiques and ephemera. Her collections became her inspiration, and her inspiration became her work. Each piece, carefully choreographed, the arranging and re-arranging of little objects, and precious things, moved and re-placed until they establish a relationship to each other. And tell a story to the viewer. Grainne lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland, with her husband, two children and thousands of tiny little objects. Show more
