The Willow Tree (latin: Salix) is a robust, resilient tree species. She lives on the edge of riverbeds and in wetlands – she likes to get her feet wet. Her willowy limbs reach up to the sky in vivid colours of deep purple or mustard yellow in the late winter.
Willows can be easily tamed to be the base for living fences – stakes stuck in the ground quite easily take root to start a new tree. The flexible branches are also used in basketry and wattle work.
The Willow Tree symbolizes flexibility, adaptability, and resilience.
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.
