'Nature is precious, sustaining myself & my family in many ways.
Our Garden we rewilded from rough land, the food we grow, walks & swims on the coast & ever growing knowledge of stars & cosmos. Pollution & disconnection to these systems threatens our Earth' |

Bio:
Melissa Hampson-Smith trained in Fine Art, Sculpture, Silversmithing, Performance and Environmental Science. Creating wearable navigation sculptures, talismans containing hidden maps and secrets for the wearer. Inspiration from environments, deep time, micro & macro, space travel, colonisation of celestial bodies, mining asteroids, extreme weathers, discarded man-made materials, protecting our Oceans and rewilding our Earth. Working recycled metals with beach stones in situ on the Cornish coast, a rich metal mining area, she connects Earth, Moon, & Ocean. Adding raw & cut gems alongside "Future Gems" (she upscales from discarded plastics) tree resins, seeds, found things and vintage finds. https://www.instagram.com/mjhscontemporary/ |
