Bird By Kim Rogers

Kims decorative pieces are designed to bring colour and fun to the home and garden and are made from wire and beads. The pieces sparkle in the light, casting beautiful shadows and adding decoration to interiors and gardens.

Inspiration comes from nature, where the bright colours she loves are abundant and the linear structure of plants and animals are ideal for portrayal in wire other inspirations include fairy tales and mythologies.

Kim is interested in recycling and tries to use second hand materials where possible. Some of the beads that she uses are not brand new. She likes to recycle and create something new from something old and unwanted. Each piece is modelled individually without using a template or mould, so is therefore unique. Kim bends and shapes the wire by hand, joining it together by twisting. She does do not use any templates or moulds, turning the linear form of wire into three-dimensional pieces offers a constant challenge.

Many of the skills that she uses in her current work were acquired on the BA hons degree in Design Crafts, which she completed in 1999 at Hereford College of Art and Design.
