Artist Bio
Sian Edwards is a jewellery and object artist and maker. Taking inspiration from a multitude of sources, her work is defined by an interest in detail, repetition, pattern, and light. With a focus on animals, her work references both the rich historical use of animals in adornment and the actual animals that share our world. Her work is playful, illustrative, and at times delves deeper, undertaking anatomical material studies of her chosen subjects. Her approach to materials considers their relationship to the body through tactile qualities such as movement and texture.
Artist Statement
The Remade-Reloved project allows me to step outside of my regular practice, challenge myself, and follow a tangent. Since first participating in the annual project, I have been reworking glass seed beads. For Remade-Reloved 2025 I have continued this exploration, resulting in a series of neckpieces.
With the aim to keep materials and construction simple, I have used fused Argentium silver links to support the glass beads. Knowing that glass can handle heat means that each link can be loaded with beads and then fused into the system using a tiny flame. Every link requires attention; too much heat and the metal join will melt away.
Each neckpiece explores a different chain system, all starting with a simple beaded link. Complexity begins to arise through layering links in repetitive patterns. These pieces are iterations of a simple idea, and an invitation to continue along this tangent.
