This is a piece of jewellery art by Marta Mattson that I was lucky to see at the Royal College of Art final Show. She herself was wearing two little bow studs on her ears. Cute little bows right... or are they?coming closer and reading the materials you are quite amazed by her witty game. They are made out of calf skin and her statement says it all... " My jewellery deals with the tension that lies between attraction and repulsion". The result is beautiful and refined combined with subtly dark and spooky qualities.
This was my other favourite from the show. Meri Takala had a wonderful concept to present through her jewellery. Every necklace was a series of knotted strings, fabrics or other materials and represented the time taken to produce by little tags with numbers ... 16 min, 70 hours, was written next to every piece hanging from the wall. A very convincing way to present the relentless progress of time through a jewellery piece indeed.
