2021 Degree Work - Presence and Absence

  • Ruby Sylvester

Presence and Absence is a series of jewellery that reflects upon the effects of the Coronavirus Pandemic, exploring both my personal experience and the experience of people within my community. The series was developed over a year, changing with the uncertainty of the circumstances, with moments of joy and areas of fear. It helped me process my experience, allowing me to understand, grieve and celebrate the joys of Lockdown.
