Cool Construct - WATERHOUSE go Vogue.

The work of eight British graduates who have drawn on the urban landscape for inspiration takes center stage at a new exhibition in West Yorkshire.

Cool Construct - New Kids on the Block, which opens to the public tomorrow in Saltaire, features the work of emerging jewellery artists who have all recently graduated.

The work by David Finlay, Heather McDermott, Debra Townend, Janine Preece, Eleanor Bolton, Fiona West, Charlotte Valkeniers and Myia Bonner will be on display at Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery in Salts Mill, Saltaire, until January 30, 2011.

Curator Kath Libbert, who selected the eight artists from hundreds of jewellery graduates said: "I always look for individuallity and a fresh approach. Cool Construct showcases the work of a selection of very talented jewellers who have been inspired by architecture, the urban environment and geometric forms and who have responded innovatively".

Myia Bonner, who graduated from Middlesex University, used the structure of the diamond as inspiration for her hard angled, out sized statement pieces in gold and silver.

She said: "My jewellery challenges scale, common associations, preconceptions and traditions given to the infamous stone".
