Description
Microcosmos II brooch belongs to the Terra Incognita collection, I’ve begun to create in 2021. It is about imagination, undiscovered worlds, fantasy, colours and nature. How far is it from the depths of the unknown oceans until you reach the depth of imagination, an unknown place where everything is possible? And in countless combinations? We move slowly, swim at the bottom of our thoughts and discover again and again what we have not even dreamed of. . . You ask yourself where this fantastic variety of impossible forms and mystical colors comes from? What inspires the nature in her creations? I use dried, lightweight driftwood to create my jewellery pieces, mostly brooches, but also rings and necklaces. Dyed and lacquered with few layers of varnish, it becomes stable and wearable. Each piece has a colour combination, that I use only once. So is the shape of the wood unique. Microcosmos II brooch reminds of a green sea plant with miniature blue sparkling blossoms made of glass micro granules. The deeper the unknown, the more intoxicating the world is. The inspiration’s floating in weightless state, it never stands still. By movements of the water pulled back and forth – a solid bottom does not exist. An unsatisfied thirst for knowledge, which drives to work, creates unique pieces that tell a story. The devotion to nature and jewelry rewarded with an open field of imagination, inspiration that’s wearable, and moreover an absolute revelation of one’s own feeling.
An orchestra of galaxies sending signals of colorful tones swinging over the seas, breach the water surface without splash. A taste explosion, fabulous naked miracle of surprise, the true colour of orgiastic blossom. Planet of drops, the horizon is a geyser. The perfection of nature’s forms and the beauty of the material challenge me, Sometimes it’s driftwood of an insanely knotted shape, pieces of coral, petrified sea shell, amber or a sea urchin skeleton. It’s about unusual combinations: soft and amorphous – hard and edged – translucent and matt light bodies. The gracile and grotesque-looking deep-sea organisms could be also figments. Nature and phantasy becomes one. My jewellery objects are materialized imaginations. It’s not how the things really are. How they could be – that is the point of aesthetical capability.
