Collection 1 / An Saol Eile
An Saol Eile, or the Otherworld, is the Gaelic name for the spiritual realm, also known as Tír Na nÓg – the land of the young where the faeries and deities roam.
To access the otherworld requires a portal, often venturing into natural wonders such as caves, lakes, or our favourite, 'lus yn eebyrtys' – the mist of love. By intertwining the best of Irish and Manx folk tales into the designs and stories of this collection, we hope to transport you there ourselves through our very own portal of storytelling, right into the heart of An Saol Eile.
Royal College of Art Graduation Collection
I envisioned a collection capable of communal and holistic healing, offering a return to our traditional co-existence with nature’s resources, re-connecting us to our ancient foremothers. Walking the line between ritual, mythology and science I rebirthed women's lost histories, returning to the earth around me and my Celtic roots. I foraged for seasonal remedies from local plants, imbued silks with healing essences and cast metals into the ancient memory of her native trees. Using scientific research, data collected directly from women and consultations with professional healers, I designed jewellery and vessels that actively contribute to women’s health, utilising holistic healing benefits that work in rhythm with women’s lives.
A collection to simplify cyclical treatments, reduce painful symptoms and create soothing moments through meditative healing rituals.
