Artist Mike Turner about his work : „I generally produce one-offs within series of works following a theme or concept, with a focus on creating quality objects which attempt to both communicate my artistic ideas and expand my abilities as an artisan.
A large portion of works have originated through the manipulation and experimentation with the metals and materials I use, many, such as the ‘specimens’ have evolved piece by piece to loosely resemble strange creatures, with the subjects of insects ,science fiction, surgical implements ,and human body parts having all had varying degrees of influence throughout .Some jewelery pieces might often include the addition of false teeth or prosthetic eyes, much as the way in which tribal peoples made jewelery from the teeth and bones of the animals they found or killed, these could be a 21st century version ,to be worn by future urban ‘tribes’ and fashioned from discarded remnants of the dead.“
