BIOGRAPHY
Born in and based on the outskirts of Penzance, Cornwall, my name is Joseph Blewett.
With an animistic view on life, I am especially interested in cross-cultural ancestral values, particularly those with Cornish roots.
Using both age old and modern methods, I make beads, jewellery and sculpture from stone and other materials found a long lifes walks within this timeless county.
The objects I make are intended for the mind full and mind less moments. The idea is to find our feet, then follow our own lead.
Learning to live more in tune with nature - to include my own, is important to me and making in the way that I do is a part of this practise.
It is like an on the go ecotherapy and by being true enough to this, I find I have these things to offer - which, to me are not only filled with spirit of place, but of deep time memory of our origins, of relations to our ancestors and the stars.
Snapshots of a kind of dance with something I find barely containable, especially with words.
For these kind of musings and more follow me on Facebook / Instagram and lastly, here's one final plug for my Etsy shop (where you will find all the smalls).
May you enjoy your wonder here!
