HOSTEM INVENTORY

Alice Waese is a New York-based artist and jewellery designer. With a background spanning fine art, sculpture, pattern drafting and draping, she works seamlessly across different media to create pieces that are made to be treasured for life. Waese's jewellery is inspired by her watercolour illustrations and the raw romanticism of the natural world. Her jewellery is shaped by hand and made in intricately textured sterling silver and gold, set with precious stones and pearls.

Subjects from her drawings are given life as jewels and talismanic objects, with motifs such as hands, skulls and bones appearing throughout. Her watercolour illustrations, which have been published in a series of hardback, hand-printed books, each contain a single piece of jewellery concealed within. Hostem is pleased to have worked with Waese since 2010 as her first stockist, supporting her varied practice and offering unique opportunities for creative projects and one-off bodies of work.

Alice Waese's work is available exclusively in London at Hostem Archive.
