GRAEME MCCOLM

Having grown up on a farm in rural Scotland and now living in London since 2004, my life has consisted of a series of contrasts. Over the years this has guided my work - the coarse with the smooth, dark through the light, soft lines edged with hard shapes - these have become my primary sources of creative inspiration. As such, I am continually inspired by anything and everything I see around me, whether it be architecture, noise, characters in my adopted home town of London or sights discovered whilst travelling the world far beyond it's city limits. The harmony that can exist between decay and renewal, constantly generates ideas, thoughts and feelings. At the same time, paring down forms to the visually simplistic and elegant, with a touch of the unanticipated, allows me to translate this into refined, unique jewellery.
