ART 104 T #1- Week 4

  1. I chose to use a structured flare, silk thread and blue stones as a butterfly collar. I think the butterfly is like a dream and the pattern on the butterfly is like the eye. It is not only the human who peers into the dream world, but the dream world also peers into the human. And this sight is like a human exploring the self in the subconscious, hence my choice of patterns with reflective stones.
  2. A complete wire necklace, this is my attempt at a completely structured piece. The quest for fluidity stems from the cold beauty of the metal and simple yet intricate structures like the platonic lines.
  3. Happy Snail World. Because snails are soluble in salt. Add something easily and they lose their sense of borders. are ephemeral with form but easily changeable. I think of the world as being like a snail with a fragile shell. Now even though they have their own form, a similar colourful spurt comes out when they come across something specific.
  4. structure and the eye. This is a similar but simpler kind of my understanding of dreaming and thinking to the first one. It is a simple room but the structure of everything is distorted. Yet it is still centred on the eye, on the exploration of what is always being sought.
  5. The twisted Catbbit is a furry, rusty, spring-like thing. Only about the size of a hand, the thing bounces and walks.
  6. the earrings of a snake’s egg. It is broken snake guts and the egg is mixed with egg white and blood-like fetus almost slipping out of the membrane. It is not clear whether it is dead or alive. In an indistinguishable boundary.
  7. The horned viper bracelet, which I intend to make using bright green origami, is used to show the particular texture of the outer spines of the scales of the horned viper. It has an otherworldly and dangerous feel to it. 8.
  8. Gold ring made of pig-nosed snake. A whole ring made of gold wire. It is not small in itself, but it is light and lovely because of the white space created by the braiding. It goes well with a lovely snake like the pig-nosed snake itself.
  9. The chain on the pearl. I wanted to make this intricate structure. It was simply an experiment to see how the different structures would look when they overlapped.
  10. White gold red-eyed cobra. A cobra made of pure pearls, with a long body and a snake’s head with presence. The classical white-gold pearl texture brings a sense of heft.
