ON MOTHERHOOD AND DESIGN
In conversation with Anna Jewsbury about motherhood
and design

BY EDITORIAL

Completedworks documents the beauty and complexity of the everyday through the practice of jewellery and ceramics. Trained as a mathematician and philosopher, artistic-director Anna Jewsbury – who founded the London-based brand in 2013 - imbues the brand’s work with a convention-defying aesthetic and concept-led approach that takes notions of timelessness left-of-field and disrupts any clear distinction between accessory and art. Concentrating on shifts in form, pattern and texture, pieces are designed to be light yet voluminous; exaggerated without moving beyond the delicate. Experimenting with the traditions of sculpture sinuous pearl earrings and gold vermeil necklaces weave, loop, twist, fold and expand, in so doing finding a meditative balance and exploring broader questions about the human condition

The dramatic visual impact is underlined by each collection being thematically organised around a particularly idiosyncratic political and cultural observation – because why would you not want trade blows with history, politics and the language of art.
