From the series To Mend My Broken Heart, this brooch belongs to a body of work exhibited at Collect 2020 in London as part of a collaborative project with the garden as its source of inspiration. Approaching the theme from a cultural point of view and exploring the very English tradition of afternoon tea and drinks in the garden, the work incorporates broken pieces of old porcelain cups and saucers.

This necklace is from the series To Mend My Broken Heart and was exhibited at Collect 2020 in London. Transforming broken crockery into unique, wearable objects offers the opportunity to celebrate not only their origin, but also their fragmented incidental qualities. The broken pieces, which once formed part of a bigger picture, now have their own independent story to tell, as they carry the memory of the original objects, conveying their history yet assuming a new identity as contemporary jewellery.

This cup and saucer were damaged when Liana bought them as part of a set of six; they were kept in a cupboard for many years. Now they are objects used in the series To Mend My Broken Heart, which is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi. Using silver or gold chain, the aim is to embrace the damaged and the imperfect by highlighting the cracks and missing pieces. The mended flaws become part of the design, offering the object a new identity. Healing the scars of the flawed and the unwanted, the object becomes purposeful and desirable again.
