About MeEntitled 'Ten Doos', this piece exhibits John Newton's bold style of work, combining a sense of humour with a non-traditional approach to jewellery. This necklace was made during John Newton's residency at Aberdeen Art Gallery in 1986.More About Me
Fantastic humorous and playful neckpiece created by John Newton during his residency at Aberdeen Art Gallery in 1986. But what is a Doo you might ask! Scots slang for dove or more likely pigeon in this case.
