Earthly Treasures
Effie was funded by venues in Scotland, Wales and England to explore the possibilities of using glass as a material for jewellery.
Effie visited ancient landscapes across the three countries. Including the 4000 year old standing stones in Caithness, which are thought to bring together the three realms of land, sea, and sky.
The trees and plants which feature in Effie’s work encapsulate the cycle of life and death, the passage of time, and suggest a sense of hope and renewal.
