Woodland Ring
By Lorissa Toweel

Lorissa Toweel is a Brisbane-based artist, raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. In her formative years, designing and crafting provided an outlet for the musings of her mind. Honouring her desire to create, she pursued an Arts education. A diploma in Visual Arts with TAFE Southbank was quickly followed by bachelor’s degree in Fine Art through Queensland College of Art (QCA), Griffith University. Her practice explores fragility of memory and the complexity of human relationships and trauma.

The Woodland Ring is a hand-sculpted ring cast from wax into sterling silver. The surface echoes bark, antler, and bone – organic yet unfamiliar. The shape dips sharply into a cragged V, a hollowed crown or talon. It carries the wildness of something once buried, now exposed. There is nothing symmetrical or tame about it.
