Hana Karim : fORMINORA – razstava nakita @ Lična hiša || Ajdovščina

Of all collections that have found their way out of my workshop, the very fORMINORA collection most strongly reflects my creativity and my relation to ceramics, which after all is the first and foremost medium of my art design.
The FORMINORA collection attempts to place ceramic products into their non-typical milieus – through contrasting materials as well by enticing softness from ceramic objects, altering their form and assigning them new shapes.
Moreover, each piece of my ceramic jewellery has and tells a story – a story about the fascinating process each piece has to undergo to become a piece of jewellery; a story from the very beginning, when a set of earthly substances pass through fire, until the final transformation into a solid form.
While designing my jewellery I always ponder over the gravity factor, which guides me to the typical exaggerated dimensions that, however, often make me wonder about the wearability and functionality of my jewellery.
The bigger, the heavier is the rule when dealing with ceramics, which in fact impairs the practicality of ceramic jewellery, but, on the other hand, is the key factor in providing and emphasizing the aesthetic attributes of ceramic jewellery.
Contrasts are my passion – light and heavy, rough and gentle, geometric and organic, industrial and handmade. And ceramics precisely is the medium that enables me to explore all these aspects.

So far I have designed two cohesive collections – last year the Geometric/Organic Collection and recently the fORMINORA Collection, which was also exhibited at the Month of Design 2011 in Ljubljana. Both collections incorporate a considerable shift from the established jewellery design to the experimental design. At the same time my collections pay respect to the mother nature, especially to the fire, which is my associate and my best friend in the process of my art design.
