Leah Tarlo
Leah Tarlo’s tactile, three-dimensional jewellery is a salute to the greater collections of materials that she surrounds herself with. Her installations reference a world of endless possibilities, composed of “things past, lives lived, games played, toys loved, objects made, work done, stories told; of quality, integrity, preciousness, uniqueness, rare finds and recreations”. Small objects link the wearer to nostalgic memories of past events, in the belief that these finds may transfer their virtues to their owner.
