Dazzle Invites | Sarah Packington

The pieces in this collection of dyed Perspex and silver jewellery by Sarah Packington are her response to the sculptures of Barbara Hepworth. Hepworth’s abstract works are inspired by people and landscapes. Curving forms with circles and holes that can be seen as representing human forms. Sarah was initially inspired by Hepworth’s ‘Family of Man’: a series of individual but connected bronze sculptures that represent the human figure across generations, seen on a visit to the Yorkshire sculpture park with three generations of Sarah’s family.

Sarah Packington’s jewellery often draws on mid-century motifs shapes and colours. She enjoys the vibrancy and optimism of post war abstract art and design. Sarah has been designing and making jewellery in Brighton since graduating in 3D design in 1991. She enjoys the challenge of finding new ways to shape, texture and colour acrylic to create desirable and wearable jewellery.

Sarah Packington is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the third edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites.

Dazzle invites 30 contemporary jewellers, showing unique, one-off or limited edition designs, created specially for the exhibition. All pieces are available to purchase from 16 November 2022 – 8 January 2023.
