Poison Ivy (latin: Toxicodendron spp.) is a notorious plant that, if you don’t know what it looks like, you will once it finds you! It is native to North America and Asia.
The saying, ‘Leaves of three, leave it be!’ is a common refrain of newcomers to the recognition of this plant.
She is adaptable and resilient, growing in three main forms: a trailing vine forming a carpet on the ground, a large bush up to three feet high, or as a vine up a tree, blending in with the tree’s foliage. She is the epitome of “look, don’t touch”, and leaves a harsh lesson if we neglect this. As an ‘edge’ species, she seems to be on guard to protect the woodlands.
Poison Ivy reminds us to pay attention, be present, and take care of our surroundings.
I work with copper wire of various gauges to create nature-inspired jewellery and sculpture. I love the tactile feel of working with the metal, and the warmth of the copper as my hands work with it.
It starts on the drawing board. I sketch out ideas, keeping my pencil on the page to mimic a length of wire. I aim to create smooth movement from end to end. I coax the copper into its shape, using my hands to keep the lines smooth and pliers for more precision or hard angles. I use my steel block and hammer to tap some texture and harden the metal to strengthen it and help it hold its shape.
