COUP de COEUR ! Sarah KEAY knitted wire jewellery

« I knit enamelled wire tubes that I then layer together to create strong and durable structures. »

j’adore les couleurs, j’adore ce travail minutieux de crochetage/tissage du métal, qui forme comme un nid d’où jaillissent des éclats de couleurs !

 

silver bangle – Silver, swarovski crystals, monofilament, enamel.

 

« My creative practice is heavily influenced by botanical elements. They are recreated and fragmented by units constructed from filament, precious beads, swarovski crystals, found objects, suspended by enamel.
The repetitive techniques used in the production of the pieces are mirrored in natural structures: tree branches, lacewing eggs, sea anemones.
The pieces are designed to allure and capture the wearer using movement and colour, whilst exploring the boundaries between jewellery, textiles and sculpture.
Utilisation of unconventional mixed media, alongside ancient techniques such as bobbin knitting, allows my jewellery to continually develop and diversify, whilst also questioning the traditional roles of jewellery and it’s perception » (Sarah Keay)

pink bangle – Silver, monofilament, enamel, plastic.
