MA Design (Jewellery)
- Borrowed landscapes The project seeks to link the jewellery worn to the environment or landscapes that surrounds it and uses reflection as the vehicle for this. It also uses the architectural device of the window frame to help structure the forms. Rather than filling the jewel with stones, empty spaces within this Jewellery not only allow us to see the surrounding landscape through them, but also metaphorically by reflection to bring the landscape inside the jewellery. Multi-angular shapes with reflective surfaces capture the surrounding view from many different angles, including those the wearer cannot see, presenting them all at once. In effect the jewellery extends the available visual world but within the jewel itself. Through this process, the wearer can have their own world view, its changing colours and patterns defined onto their body by the location, the time and their multiplied lines of sight. The Jewellery will have borrowed the landscapes temporarily and momentarily stopped the flow of time. www.nuri-lee.com
