In the time that Bowden has been making jewellery she has come to be associated with a bold clarity of form and a distinctive, pared-down aesthetic that shuns timidity, but not sensitivity.

‘Zen’ series

The sculptural severity of the Zen ring - a solid, open band of gold or silver rotates through ninety degrees. Bowden deftly controls the twisting and forming of these curves through her mastery of metal, visually quoting the Japanese tradition of wrapping.

‘Woven’ series

The stark geometry of sterling silver squares, ellipses and rectangles provide the frame for hand woven, 22ct, 18ct white, green and yellow gold. All woven sections are created using a process of twining fine wires around the warp that form the structure and main shape of the pieces. This collection is an ongoing signature that reflects Bowden's love of detail.

I have always loved working with metal and have a fascination with detail.
