About
Growing up in 1970s Suffolk in a crumbling house with wild, tangled gardens, Alex Monroe was left to wreak havoc by invention. Creation became a compulsion, whether it was go-carts and guns, cross-bows and booby traps, or boats and scooters. And then it was jewellery.
From full-out warfare waged against local schoolboys to the delicacies of dressmaking and the most intricate jewellery designs, Two Turtle Doves traces the intimate journey of how an idea is transformed from a fleeting thought into an exquisite object. It is about where we find our creativity, how we remember and why we make the things we do.
