« An Emerging Creature is a project that is interested in invigorating jade through the use of leather in a contemporary way and with a wild combination of materials. although formerly popularly used in Asia, jade no longer appeals to Kim’s younger generation. Responding to the many prejudices of jade- such as reminding Westerners of China and the stereotype of jade as an old-fashioned gemstone for the Asian younger generation-is an absorbing challenge as a designer. The project uses the relationship between the wearer’s skin and leather ‘skin’ to create a unique jade jewellery collection. The shape was started from a fern,as an organic iconographic form used in chinese jade craft during Ming and Quing dynasties, then evolved into an emerging creature in spirals,undulations,curves,volumes,flows,rhythm and dynamism. » Anes Kim
