Fray 2022-2023
These pieces represent a visualisation of a paralyzing feeling of stress.
There’s a counterproductive contrast between the creative process and the panic that comes with it: having to create, having to succeed, being patient…
Sometimes you lose yourself in all the ideas and thoughts in your head, or the lack thereof.
You don’t know what to do… you’re stuck!
Take a deep breath and channel all these feelings into an object, a piece of jewellery.
Use this chaos to create something beautiful and by doing so, grow mentally.
I shaped the textile by folding, sewing, scrunching and tying it. I let 3D shapes emerge from a flat surface and covered it with pitch-black paint. Some pieces are filled with polyurethane after machine stitching lines on the textile to create a pattern. Other details or are handstitched to insure the stability of the pieces.
I hand shaped a steel brooch system and stitched it onto the piece.
Materials: Cotton, acrylic paint, polyurathane, steel, rope, sewing thread.
