Core Skills: OBJECT (research)

During the making of one of my projects, Deborah (Lecturer) had suggested to me an artist who creates jewellery who may have a similar idea as my me in time i was making a paper clustered ring and bracelet that sit on the wrist. Her name was Svenja John.

Since 1994 Svenja John has been making jewellery. In Berlin. Since then she has been using macrofol, a polycarbonate processed to create foil. And since the very beginning, her jewellery has been pieced together. Using ingenious techniques she invents form modules which she then joins up and suspends one within the other, forms nestling within forms, stacked one on top of the other. She thus creates semi-opaque clusters and structures that remind one of scientific models, of crystalline and organic structures. For example like an atom.

I researched through her background and i found a lot of interest in her work so for my individual project (FINAL) she is going to be in example of my project.
