THE ARTIST

Mairi Millar is a Trinidadian artist based in London. Born in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, she earned her BFA in Jewelry & Metalsmithing from the Rhode Island School of Design (2018) as well as her MA in Jewellery & Metals at The Royal College of Art (2021).

Her work explores the beauty of natures discarded and “collaborating with chance”, creating works from found natural objects. Primarily through the language of jewellery, these forgotten or finished objects are elevated to the state of a relic. Her practice is an ode to the finder’s treasure; from human hair to houseflies, she does not shy away from the macabre to find beauty and hope.
