lucy folk

Lucy Folk is a luxury Australian lifestyle brand inspired by travel, art and design. Their most iconic pieces are interpretations of objects or experiences that have significance for Lucy, who is both the founder and a goldsmith.

WATERSIGN developed a visual style for their storytelling series ORIGINS using archival imagery, product photography, and - when available - physical samples. The mixed-media collages are designed to be as unconventional and tactile as the products themselves. Each collection in the series is distinct, though they live together as a set.

The images above are from ANCHOVY, and those below are from MEDINA. Each collection has one hero graphic and a supporting set of simpler images. Together, they create a sense of story and place.

The foundation for each piece is imagery that evokes the mood of the story. They were printed, hand cut and assembled, and then painted or drawn onto directly using a range of media including paint, pastel, pen and ink. In the image above from CHROMATOPIA (a story about chakra equilibrium), a crystal was used to cast refracted light and energy lines were drawn in pastel.

in their words

WATERSIGN was resourceful and inspired. They produced beautifully unique artwork, unlike anything seen in the Australian jewellery industry at the time. Their commitment to deadlines was unwavering, and their dedication to the project was palpable throughout. Their talent and professionalism made our collaboration a pleasure, and I would highly recommend them for any creative endeavor.
