Jill’s work is not just beautiful to look at; its strength and beauty lends itself perfectly to functional objects too. Jill’s creativity shines through in her imaginative functional forms. Cast in bronze, these pieces will stand the test of time, retaining their colour and shine for many years to come.
Jill’s signature lyrical shapes and natural forms adorn bowls, tables, mirrors and door handles, adding a contemporary touch that works with period and modern spaces alike to create a naturally-inspired, yet eclectic look and feel. These timeless pieces add character and elegance to an eclectic collection, or as a striking centrepiece on their own.
Most recently, Jill has been experimenting with turning her sculptural forms into door handles. A graceful female figure has been repurposed as a front door handle, and smaller figures as handles for kitchen cabinets, in contrast to the modern handles already in place.
Previous works include the bowls from Jill’s Shakespeare’s Tree project, with a rugged outer shell formed from the tree bark’s texture, and the inside a highly polished surface complete with the Shakespeare seal. Available in several sizes, these extraordinary bowls are an impressive focus point for a dining or coffee table.
Jill has also used this tree trunk shape as a highly polished coffee table base. The bronze colour and surface offers a timeless warmth and gravity in a domestic setting, with a modern take on a natural form.
The tree motif continues in this antiqued mirror, with a patina in a rose shade that reflects a glowing light back into the room.
Another more recent mirror piece is this abstract mirror, created for Jill’s 2019 exhibition Osmosis. It has a highly polished white bronze surface and frame of lyrical flowing shapes that feels both historical and contemporary.
Art with function is a wonderful way to add art to a home, and can be a fabulous gift for anyone inspired by nature and the beauty of bronze.
Because the pieces made by hand at the Morris Singer Foundry, these pieces can be adapted to work with any space, or even designed in collaboration with Jill to create something truly unique.
Groups of objects and art create a wonderfully eclectic feel. Jill’s Abstract Mirror, with its organic, sculptural frame captures her pair of figures, which in turn mirror the forms of the African Art displayed on the walls.
The mirror and figures are available to purchase, and can be commissioned in a range of sizes and finishes.
