Rebecca Joselyn explores the function of the objects she is creating. She is interested in how people interact and handle different objects. Her inspiration begins by studying cartoon characters in comic books and the way they display particular personalities through the way they are drawn. She likes her designs to have individual personalities and almost have a ‘human' feel to them. A complimentary strand of her work shows the interest in the unwanted throwaway packaging with its negative impact on our environment. Environmental concerns are topical and in response to this she have developed a range of contemporary silver tableware ‘baskets' and ‘bags' as objects for display and use within the home.
