Lucy Brown

Squeeze is an amazingly structural piece of art. The artist Lucy Brown creates these awesome sculptures out of old garments, she reworks, unpicks, weaves and cuts these old clothes to create these thought provoking sculptures. These piece plays on how women in society reconstruct their bodies to make them more conventionally beautiful and also reflects society's obsession with thinness.

I find it very interesting when an artist has a take on social issues and i find that Lucy Brown brings her point forward very intelligently and interestingly. and her sculptures are amazing to look at!

Emanuela Duca is an american jewellery designer who's jewellery i find truly amazing. She manages to create pieces that are very organic in shape and texture out of precious metals.
As far as I understand she uses rather basic techniques to create jewellery that is eye catching and beautiful.
Emanuela Duca is very inspirational to me, i love the look of her very simple jewellery and the fact that she draws inspiration from nature and the beach interests me greatly.

Artist Statement

I have always been fascinated with sculpture and creating things with my hands which was the first reason why I got into jewellery manufacture. I have a love of things that are ugly beautiful, things that are not attractive at first glance but a truly beautiful upon second look. I love the metallic shine of metal and the millions of different shades of silver found in one piece of jewellery. As I am from a tropical island nature has always influenced me and inspired me. I love unrefined, organic shapes and designs.
