Cheers to Caren Hartley

Artist Caren Hartley creates crafts, installations and jewelry. She created the following pieces for the Crafts Council for their Collect Trail 2010 project. The black tumblers and bottle are made of iron and part of her Translations series. She writes, the "Translations Series follows the themes of rebirth, simulation and object translations, exploring how the physical marks of time and use can denote personal histories and object biographies – and how a parody of the original is created when material truths and untruths are interfered with."
