Object Sue Webster, Crawling Spider Bracelet, 2021

Coming to prominence in the mid-1990s, British artist Sue Webster and then partner Tim Noble are best known for their theatre-light pieces and abstract shadow sculptures assembled from seemingly random objects. In lockdown, however, Webster shifted her attention to the domestic sphere, creating her punky, scurrying Spider Series in the process.

Using toothpicks, a candle, lighter and a pin, Webster welded wax models of spiders while her new-born baby Spider slept. Her waxes were then cast into delicate silver necklaces, bracelets, rings and webs. This crawling spider bracelet is from an edition of 10 made in collaboration with Louisa Guinness Gallery.
