Mabinogion Goddess Lineage

A sculptural jewellery cycle tracing the archetypes of mythic origin from the Mabinogion, expressed through the contemporary feminine becoming. Each goddess embodies a distinct transformation — innocence, sovereignty, autonomy, alchemy, and renewal — reimagined through ceramic protoforms and silver elements that bridge ancient Welsh myth with present‑day feminine consciousness.

Blodeuwedd I

In Stage 1, Blodeuwedd appears in her purest state — conjured entirely from

blossoms, untouched by consciousness or consequence. Her primrose‐yellow

crown marks the moment of her creation: a burst of sunrise light symbolising

innocence, obedience, and the spellbound stillness of a being made to fulfil

another’s desire. The meadow‐white of her body remains luminous and

unmarked, holding the quiet potential of someone who has not yet awakened

to her own agency.

The translucent morganite beads surrounding Blodeuwedd act as the

atmosphere of her birth — soft, dew‐like, and gently diffused. Their pale clarity

reinforces her status as a blank vessel suspended in the first breath of

existence. She is the Flower Maiden before thought, before choice, before transformation: living entirely in the light.

Blodeuwedd II

The Awakening

This piece introduces a sweeping lilac cloak that wraps around Blodeuwedd in

soft, dusk‐toned folds. On her body rests a symbolic iris flower — rendered in

violet with a dark, maturing brown stem. This stem curves protectively across

her torso, embracing the luminous white inner landscape she holds open at

her center. The contrast between the lilac cloak, the deep iris stem, and the

untouched white interior creates a visual tension between innocence and

emerging complexity.

Stage 2 represents Blodeuwedd’s awakening into consciousness, desire, and

agency. The white inner landscape symbolizes her essential purity — the part

of her identity untouched by the spell that created her. The iris flower on her

body, with its darkening stem, introduces maturity, secrecy, and fate. It acts as

her developing persona: a protective mask and a sign of the emotional depth

forming within her. Through this iris, Blodeuwedd begins to sense the tragic

path ahead, revealing the inner struggle of a being who has started to choose— even when choice is forbidden.

Blodeuwedd III

Blodeuwedd III - The Transformation

The final figure shifts to an ash‐like, stony grey wash that accentuates the

carved, feather‐like drapery of tucked wings. This muted, avian palette marks

the moment of Blodeuwedd’s metamorphosis. Starkly set against the grey is a

vivid pink human heart held close to her chest — the brightest point in the

composition, luminous and defiant.

Her headpiece, shaped from soft floral petals, remains the final trace of her

origin — a quiet reminder that she was once conjured from blossoms rather

than born. These petals mark the fragile boundary between who she was

made to be and who she becomes, carrying the last echo of her floral identity

into the shadowed realm of her transformation.

This stage represents her ultimate punishment. Banished by the magicians,

she is stripped of her floral colours and transformed into the owl, condemned

to fly in the shadows. Yet while her exterior hardens into a nocturnal creature

shaped by consequence rather than choice, the vivid pink heart reveals the

emotional climax: her human memory, resilience, and capacity to love remain

stubbornly alive at her core.
