About this episode
Karoline Healy discusses her innovative approach to jewellery through the lens of material research and ecological practices.
Karoline Healy moves between jewellery, material research and speculative futures in her investigations into new forms of precious matter. Through her London-based studio jewellery H₂ERǴ, she investigates regenerative material cultures shaped by ecology, biotechnology, craft, science and ancient knowledge. Drawing from natural growth formations, ironwork, surrealism and alchemical traditions, her work reimagines jewellery as both artefact and an ecological proposition, exploring through craft research and material futures. Alongside her studio practice, Karoline works as a materials consultant and researcher, collaborating with the design industry, global brands to explore material innovation and regenerative alternatives to extractive systems.
