Masterwork
Mirror, mirror, mine and yours
My diploma project is a piece of jewellery for couples that uses an illusory phenomenon to focus on the memories and symbols connecting two people. The hidden content of the keepsake carries personal meaning and becomes decipherable only to its owners.
Thesis
Illusion as a Medium in Contemporary Jewelry Making
My thesis examines the forms of illusion and their effects on perception in contemporary jewellery, and through artist interviews and analysis demonstrates how illusion becomes a tool for capturing attention and constructing narrative within the field.
