Aldona Juska
What caught my eye with
this piece is the use of copper to form the daffodil petal, I'm not a big fan
of sculpture, but I like that fact that this wasn't your everyday piece of
sculpture. Aldona is Yorkshire born of Lithuanian descent and has spent
most of her life either in Australia or America working as a librarian.
However, living in Los Angeles she had opportunities to work with Mexican
blacksmiths and discovered her passion for design and metal work. Upon
returning to the UK she took a college course in creative metal art and started
welding for herself in her studio in Edinburgh in 2002. The mainstay of her work
is botanical art from single stems to large complex pieces combined together to
produce candelabras. She has been invited to exhibit in several European cities
most recently Munich and Florence.
