Ring Ring

Hello this is Glenn speaking..................................

I constructed this ring using a combination of traditional materials and found objects.

I used silver as outer walls and submerged pieces of tin from paint tins.

With no real planning i threw in a cubic zirconia as well.

Initially when i made the ring, i was not sure how i felt about it. Now that I have photographed it and looked at it again,i think there is an interesting tension between the precious metal, and the random floating bits of debri. 

 im contemplating developing it further, by potentially making a series of rings.

It would be nice to expand my designs into other design variations. Ive constructed, belts, buckles and earrings using found objects , but i think to develop a range of rings using found objects combined with silver.

Could be exciting to explore these possibilities further.

Cheers.

Marguax lange is an artist Jeweller who produces works from Barbie doll parts. She re purposes mass produced materials into handmade wearable art.

Barbie dolls are appropriated from pop culture into pieces of jewellery which are combined with sterling silver.

An aspect of this process which relates to my work refers to Upcycling and also that she uses found objects from popular culture which are recontextulised into pieces of jewellery.
