In fact, these difficulties have indelibly influenced the nature of her  new series, Adversity. This collection of rings explores the emotional  and physical consequences of adversity, exploring the ways in which  difficult personal situations affect the making process from a  conceptual and technical perspective. It is one thing to make items  about difficult subjects, it is another to make during difficult events.  The artist has adapted to ways of making jewellery while going through a  difficult time in her life. The work is heavy in weight, scale and  colour. The surfaces are blackened and rough. The techniques used in the  creation of these forms have been limited to the minimum required for  each. The work is highly personal, the titles of the pieces offering the  viewer a glimpse into the events of the last six months of the artist\u2019s  life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_211\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-211\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-211\" title=\"Scars Starting to Fade 2011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27021-300x264.jpg\" alt=\"Scars Starting to Fade 2011\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27021-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27021.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scars Starting to Fade 2011<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_212\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-212\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-212\" title=\"Bouquet \u2013 Flowers Fail 2011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27015-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Bouquet \u2013 Flowers Fail 2011\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27015-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27015.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-212\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bouquet \u2013 Flowers Fail 2011<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_210\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27027.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-210\" title=\"Whole Split in Half\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27027-300x207.jpg\" alt=\"pair of silver rings\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27027-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27027.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Whole Split in Half<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_213\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-213\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-213\" title=\"Over Balanced 2011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27017-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"Over Balanced 2011\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27017-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27017.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Over Balanced 2011<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_214\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214\" title=\"Ring: Toy \u2014 Around and Around \u2014 Damage with Every Movement\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27024-300x263.jpg\" alt=\"Ring: Toy \u2014 Around and Around \u2014 Damage with Every Movement\" width=\"300\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27024-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wardill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/27024.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ring: Toy \u2014 Around and Around \u2014 Damage with Every Movement<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adversity Solo Exhibition by Kathryn Wardill e.g.etal 167 Flinders Lane &amp;
