Alex Monroe: Into The Wild

About

In a special new exhibition for London Craft Week, jeweller Alex Monroe has selected five endangered habitats in the UK and studied each one in detail through sketching, drawing, pressing and making. Working with floral designer Hazel Gardiner he has created sculptural pieces to represent each habitat surrounded by dynamic floral displays.

Alex invites visitors to pause and explore an intimate relationship with nature by offering moments of introspection and time to reflect on our connection with nature.

He also invites us to consider our complicity in the degeneration of our natural environment. The exhibition explores the role of the craftsperson in this process. The observer and recorder who is also a part of nature. The jeweller’s world is slowly engulfed by nature itself.
