R.
T. Pearce was born into a working class family in Birmingham, England in
1956. At the young age of fourteen, Pearce began working as a jewelry apprentice.
Learning to fashion three-dimensional designs in clay, he quickly learned
the techniques necessary to manufacture the designs in metal.
His work reveals influences not only from the Pre-Raphaelites, but also
from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. His devotion to nature naturally
led him to incorporate the organic forms that fascinated Art Nouveau artists
and architects, and he borrows liberally from Art Deco's use of marble and
ivory, known as chryselephantine.
