Gus Burgess
Co-Founder of L-DOPA Agency
Artist/Consultant/Jeweller
My background is in storytelling, styling, and subculture. That life can be a little chaotic; and the act of making jewellery gives me space me to work in silence. It takes time, craft and energy.
The first ring I gave away was to my close friend Austin, as a symbol of how far our work and friendship had taken us. These things are solid.
My work lives between worlds: art and object, luxury and relic. I’m obsessed with the process. Each G Ring is cast by hand in my nan’s garage using recycled 925 silver. I love the juxtaposition between the mess of a dusty work space and the objects that emerge from the fire, perfectly imperfect pieces that serve as a permanent reminder of everything they have been through.
That process is etched into the metal, forever.
