NINA OIKAWA  

STATEMENT:

“My jewellery is an occurrence as a result of my experimentation with seeking a form of eccentric beauty. Plants, colours, seasons and historic jewellery often give me inspiration to construct my playful imaginings. My curiosity towards materials helps me discover interesting phenomena. Balance and forms that appear dramatic, visual eccentricity- is what I am attempting to create in my jewellery construction.”

JAQUELINE CULLEN

ABOUT:

Whitby jet is a prehistoric black fossil most commonly associated with Victorian mourning jewellery, the trend for wearing jet jewellery was started by Queen Victoria in response to the death of her consort Prince Albert. Mined during its heyday, Whitby jet is now rare. Jacqueline’s supplier abseils down the cliffs on a rope collecting raw samples from disused caves and mines.

Jacqueline Cullen has developed innovative processes and formats that celebrate rather than disguise the inherent flaws and inclusions of Whitby jet allowing the natural beauty of the material to speak for itself, removed from connotations of death, grief and morbidity.

Jacqueline has received an Arts council grant and the Balvenie Master of Craft award (stone category). Her work has been featured in Vogue, Financial Times, The Independent, Wallpaper*and on BBC TV and radio. Her contemporary Whitby jet has been commissioned by the Harry Potter franchise and was worn by Deborah Meaden throughout the last series of Dragons Den 2010 (BBC2). Jacqueline is being mentored by Georgia Fendley, the brand director of British luxury brand Mulberry as part of the Crafted programme run by Arts and Business.

Jacqueline Cullen is the only person working with Whitby jet in a non-traditional way and she remains committed to introducing this ancient and sensual material to a contemporary audience.
