This series of works brings together fragments taken from past projects and composes their layered histories into new sculptural and wearable forms.
Fractured, melted together and cast by Welfe, the objects in Offcuts physically bear the marks of their manufacture and construction through solder spots, patinas and rough carved surfaces. Less visible but equally present in their materiality are the memories and multiple stories imbued in the objects.
Welfe Bowyer is a jewellery designer creating artworks to adorn the body with. His contemporary pieces combine the essence of old eroded heirlooms through new experimental forms. Using precious gemstones, solid metals and textures, Welfe's jewellery binds these elements for an emphasis on form and structure.
