Pavo relates to the Latin for peacock and a constellation of the same name. The brooch is iconic of Lowe's elegant ability to abstract ideas of the world around us through materials with such industrial, 'man-made' connotations.

On his jewellery Lowe says: ‘My natural inclination is to work large. I approached making the jewellery sculptures by first choosing a selection of materials. Brass, copper, nickel wire and a grid mesh. I selected soldering and construction as a simple and direct approach to working. I wanted the jewellery to relate to sculpture (made rather than designed). What was interesting was that having reduced the scale and on finishing a few jewellery pieces one of them became the inspiration for a large sculpture which I am currently working on.’
