The theme for the shining lights awards this year was 'Enduring Bonds'. I tried to Design a piece that suited the theme but that could be linked to my current work too. After Brainstorming i decided to focus on 'enduring bonds' from the sea, i came up with the idea of using the connection between an anenome and a clown fish. A clown fish endures the the stings from the anenome, and these two different species have a habitual bond, they always find each other. The Clown fish is 'kept' safe inside the anenome...in the same way i wanted to keep the diamonds safe inside something. The design i came up with is linked to the piece i am currently working on. The organic Shape or 'pod' holds the diamonds and is supported by a forged tapered shank which will wrap around the pod keeping it secure.
