Katy Hackney Explorations in Geometry

Katy Hackney was born in Dundee and attended Edinburgh College of Art before going to the Royal College of Art, London.

Inspired by childhood toys and items found in reclamation yards and junk shops, Katy’s jewellery is playful and dynamic.

“In this new group I continue to explore native wood and colour. I’m interested in the colours and textures of wood and painted wood: old painted wooden doors, vehicles, toys, found objects.”
