Newfoundland is an exhibition of work by contemporary jeweller Romilly Saumarez Smith and photography by artist Verdi Yahooda. Each of the 70+ pieces on display has at its core Roman, Anglo-Saxon or Mediaeval metalwork.
Originally everyday domestic things, but lost in the ground and buried in time they have become particular and special. A small belt buckle becomes a delicate ring; a metal garment pin turns into an elegant brooch; an old spoon is reawakened with the addition of silver granulation.
Romilly draws out the inherent characteristic of the pieces and gives them a resonance well beyond their function
