Andrew McLeod Ready Aye Ready Ring Oxidized

A beautiful heavy weighted ring covered in a collage of artworks designed in collaboration with renowned NZ artist Andrew McLeod.

Sterling Silver with Oxidised finishing.

An unorthodox design history revealed in precious metals, etched by art movements once looked upon as radical, trickeries of scale, paradoxical icons and ambiguous but Familiar symbols. A triptych of painstakingly intricate images framed by the pentagram, encapsulating the heroine, the goddess and the faithful mother. A token for protection from a higher power.

Mcleod, a renowned New Zealand artist, is known in part for his varied and impressive output spanning works in oil and digital print through to zines and textiles. Whichever medium Mcleod chooses, random objects float in an imaginary world where perspective, weight and shadow do not exist, always with a sense of his discombobulated view of society. It has been said that his work exists on the cusp of a dream state and a neurotic episode.

Each ring is a visual battleground of harmony and dissonance, seamed with a dark humour from within the shared deeply creative mindsets and aesthetics of the co creators.
