Sharon Vaizer « Fun ta sea »

Sharon Vaizer is a 2009 Graduate of the Jewelry Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.
Sharon’s work is influenced by the marine environment, which is characterized by incessant motion, and amorphous shapes that emerge from a multitude of moving elements and coalesce into a single whole. I just love the way she used cheap and ready made materials and transformed those basic objects into precious ones

« My work is influenced by the marine environment, which is characterized by incessant motion, and amorphous shapes that emerge from a multitude of moving elements and coalesce into a single whole.
I made use of cheap, readily available and recyclable materials – such as the simple plastic bag which has become an icon for recycling issues in Israel -  manipulating and multiplying them to test their stylistic flexibility, trying to transform base objects into precious ones, the mundane into the unexpected, common into rare.
The project consists of: a collection of inflatable swimwear – each item of which is handmade and unique; a tank-top shirt and handbag, both made of plastic bags and set with Swarovski stones; a hat, a shoulder ornament and plastic bracelets, all inspired by sea creatures, made of plastic cable-ties, shrink tubing and clothing-tag ties, and set with Swarovski stones.  Materials: ready-made industrial plastic and rubber parts, plastic bags, shrink tubing, cable-ties, brass and Swarovski stones. »
