« Contemporary jewellery – fine art, craft or design? “There are a lot of questions of where contemporary jewellery is going now, the direction it is going in, if the body is needed for it to work or not,” says Katerina Vorlova, the 27-year-old Czech contemporary jewellery designer and fine art graduate….
When considering Vorlova’s work it becomes clear that jewellery doesn’t need the body to come to life; part of Vorlova’s diploma collection hangs in a Prague gallery because it is too fragile to be wearable. The objects are made of plaster and hang on a string made of cotton. Vorlova continued to dip and re-dip the string in plaster until the objects got bigger and bigger. “The process is important for me as anything could happen. These objects can break easily as there is always some thought concerning losing material, breaking it and about its fragility.”
It’s sculptures or rather objects somehow connected to the body that Vorlova is creating and with that she continues to pose questions surrounding contemporary jewellery with the process being more relevant than finding answers. » (sleek-Mag)
