Humans have been fascinated by the minerals found beneath the surface of the earth for thousands of years, revering them for their beauty and mystic qualities. Delving into the world of minerals it is easy to see why these treasures from the ground have become so important to us; from graphite which has helped us to sketch to gold one of the most precious metals for adornment and value, mineral uses go beyond pure decoration and into the realms of science, one of the most astounding being piezoelectric resonance generated from quartz and used in computing science. This collection explores the colours, opacity, patterns, shapes and textures that have captivated us for millennia. Subtly textured fabrics and processes playing with light add an extra dimension to this collection.
