On the Pulse

Lost Forests at Christie’s, London, shows unique works by fine jeweller and crafts supporter Natasha Wightman of NVW. The creations are made from 4,800-year-old sub-fossilised Norfolk bog oak and blackened silver, shaped by master carvers into primaeval British landscapes of rainforest and mountains, then burnished with powdered malachite or gold and bordered with emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. The small but extraordinary exhibition will run until 22 October, and from 18 October will feature dance sequences, film and soundscapes, all directed by Wightman.
