These
pieces are inspired by Gijs Bakker’s pieces focusing on the body and jewellery’s
relationship to it. Does the body influence the jewellery or the jewellery the
body? To reflect on this I wanted to replicate the wrist and have it wrap
around the wrist, forcing this part of the body to become a bracelet that
reflects the positioning of a bracelet: falling and resting around the forearm
and hand. To examine this concept I would create this in 3 different materials
and hopefully communicate 3 different things but in the same form.
Forton MG, RTV silicone, silicone pigment, nylon thread and
sterling silver wire
The
materials influenced one another and they evolved one after the other. For
example, I used the shape of the resin slices in the second piece and the laser
cut file in the third. This highlighted the connection between the pieces.
However the different materials gave the pieces their own unique sensations.
