About:
Having practiced as a Printmaker, Catherine Marche retains an attraction to etching. The technique of photo etching, borrowed from the technology of Printed Circuit Boards in electronics, allows Marche to apply delicate patterns to the surface of sterling silver, with a higher line definition than traditional intaglio and dry point etching techniques - thanks to the slow process. Each piece is etched for 7 hours. The Volutes collection features curly and wavy organic patterns inspired by Wallpapers. The work explores the notions of scale, contrast, texture and repetition. The collection contains large and narrow cuffs, rings and earrings. The Volutes cuffs were selected to illustrate the section on photo etching in the book New Encyclopaedia of Jewellery Techniques by Jinks McGraths.
