Linda Lovatt

Linda Lovatt is an illustrator who makes 3D "illustrations" of hares and birds using old keys and vintage china. She joins these together using copper, most of which is coated in crystalline verdigris.

When she came in to talk to us she also brought a few of her "Beastie Assemblages". I particularly liked one of a hare with a dandelion type flower made from daisy spacer beads and bead caps, which had been soldered onto a copper wire stem.

Although I couldn't find the exact assemblage, I managed to find a very similar one. The description of the piece from her website is "This prancing hare made from embossed copper sheet with a china saddle, beaded tail and brass whiskers jumps through brass and copper dandelion clocks and leaves."

Hare Running on Key

I really like the style of the dandelion and may try to incorporate this idea into some of my work in the future. I also like how Linda Lovatt uses objects which would otherwise be thrown out.
