Handcrafted in her Carmarthenshire studio, this beautiful bangle is from the stunning Crescent Collection, designed by Mari Thomas. This medium bangle has a diameter of approx 6.7 cm.
‘A Study in Black and Gold #2’ features scrambling blackberry (Rubus fructicosus) plants in black, delicately sculpted using traditional wax flower making techniques, and dried insect specimens donated by a museum curator, mounted inside American lime and glass entomology cabinet drawers.
In this piece, the blackberries which in the wild provide an important source of nectar for pollinators,
appear to be growing inside the entomology drawer alongside the preserved bee specimens, highlighting
their mutually beneficial relationship.
Created exclusively for Collect 2025 and in response to the curatorial theme of Black and Gold, these monotone sculptures draw on the internationally renowned blackberry (Rubus) collection at the National Museum of Wales. To reflect this, the drawer is labelled by the artist as if part of a scientific collection.
Townsend's own observations of nature within the urban environment combine with her memories and experiences as a natural science conservator to create works that are scientifically accurate, yet artistically stunning - drawing us, through art, into a consideration and conversation about nature and its fragile beauty.

Limited Edition - First Edition of 6
A ‘hand woven’ sculpture shaped by the heat of the kiln to bring the viewer inside the built environment.
Petersen creates these delicate structures by weaving a stainless steel or metal mesh which she then dips into ceramic slip. The sculptural distortions created by the intense heat of firing, create pieces that are at once unexpected, beguiling and uncomfortable - confronting us with the fragility of our constructed world and issues of living on the edge of safety through sculptures with a rare and delicate beauty.
Created for Collect 2025, ‘All in Vain’ is one of an ongoing series of sculptures created by Petersen to highlight the inadequacies and inequalities of our current housing system.
With the addition of black crystals and gold highlights to meet our curatorial theme of Black and Gold, she extends that conversation to denote the mould that creeps across the surface of inadequate housing, but adds gold to reflect the hope for change.
