Interview with Designer Helena Malone

Helena Malone, Savage Beauty Necklace

Jewellery designer Helena Malone is featured in our current exhibition Amárach/Interplay with her Savage Beauty series of works. Malone is an award winning artist who considers the jewellery making process a journey in itself. For this series she was inspired by Louis Le Brocquy’s Tain, and chose to make organic and textural pieces cast in the shapes of branches and thorns.

Malone was interviewed on her craft by RTÉ where she speaks of how she started on her career path and what inspires her pieces. The full interview can be seen here.
