This wrist piece was made out of aluminum and steel cable it also used the forging technique. I was trying to see how big I could make go. The outer colouring is reminiscent of Japanese swards. The steel cable is glued into the spine of the folded shape then painted over. It is a continuation of the ‘soft and hard’ piece wrist pieces theme. It was made for the Red Eye art event held in Durban
Strong lines Arches are inherently strong their shape makes it possible to span wider areas with less supports and less material I want to explore its strength to find curves that can be used to make jewellery with strong lines. Steel cable is an extremely strong material that is used in bridges to span great distances I want to see how I can use this strong line to make jewellery.
