Olivia Lowe

Olivia specialises in designing and making sculptural silver vases. Her inspiration comes from the flowers themselves and through her work she creates innovative forms where the vase itself is as visually interesting as the flowers it holds, the two elements working together to create a single, unified composition.

For her most recent pieces, Olivia individually hand-forges four long strips of silver into two-dimensional curves, before being bending them up into three-dimensions and fitting and soldering them together. The crisp edges of the vases combine with the graceful fluidity of a linear form. The cross section widens and tapers to work with the outline of the vase, both emphasising form and controlling balance.
