Born in the Highlands of Scotland, Fraser Hamilton studied silversmithing and jewellery at The Glasgow School of Art, Hiko Mizuno College of Jewelry, Tokyo and finally the RCA in London. Casting elements of the human form in precious metal, he uses the body as landscape, playing with our cognitive understanding of scale to create monolithic sculptures in miniature, that simultaneously channel antiquity and popular culture. Often clutching uncommon cuts of precious gems, the hand, a symbol of creation and discovery, is a recurring motif within the designs.
