For this collection Askill has humanised the characters of his very first sculpture: the \u2018Horse Wave Home\u2019 which has, up until now, featured inhabitants from the animal kingdom only. Upon arrival into the \u2018Horse Wave Home\u2019 world, we meet the physical presence of a female. She is represented as part of \u2018The Swallow Bird Bust\u2019, a sculpture created to house the jewellery. This sculpture combines the bust of a female figure with the taxidermy swallow; an exploration of a once live swallow and its relationship with the human form. It has also been interpreted as a corsage box, worn on the wrist to mimic a swarm of swallows a place to house smaller pieces of the collection. Askill has also re-interpreted the \u2018Horse Wave\u2019 jewellery box in amethyst coloured resin.<\/p>\n

Joining the spiritual presence of the woman inside, the \u2018Horse Wave World\u2019 are characters from past chapters. This paradise allows nature and fantasy to collide, with the introduction of a flying Unicorn which hangs from double threaded amethyst beads. Amethyst stones adorn the Unicorn\u2019s horn inspired by the element of fire to imitate the rising Phoenix, a swarm of swallows translate into a cuff, Panthers and horses are worn as rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. All pieces are created with intricate detailing.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Jordy\u2019 range, a separate element of Askill\u2019s collection allows the wearer an opportunity to bear an \u2018imprint or tattoo\u2019 of this world. These are instantly recognizable symbols of your imagination, poetic motifs from the \u2018Horse Wave World\u2019 world which can be taken with you.<\/p>\n

Adding to the original motifs of hearts and stars, are flames, intertwined hearts and broken hearts, the silhouette of the moon and letter rings spelling \u2018FLAME\u2019 All representations of passion and evolution: the need to exist and survive, translated into jewellery and worn as a ring in variations of gold.<\/p>\n
