Hello Lovely Cork

Sarah Coull is the artist and maker behind Hello Lovely, a line of cork jewellery based on Vancouver Island, BC. Her work begins with observation: a leaf, a wave, a shadow, photographed and translated into a repeating pattern. Alongside her own photography, she draws on public-domain fine art, reinterpreting historical works through a contemporary material.

Each pattern is printed onto cork and laser-cut into the individual pieces. Because the pattern falls differently with every cut, no two pieces match exactly. Sarah chose cork for its sustainability and developed her process over years of trial and refinement. The material’s surprising lightness makes bold, colourful forms comfortable to wear every day.
