Gossamer threads of colored nylon and silk, ancient long-forgotten braiding techniques and the gentle manipulations of an artist come together seamlessly in this collection of jewelry made by Germany’s Anke Hennig.
By winding the flat braids of thread over and around themselves, Hennig is able to creates spiral of flowing, colorful, dimensional curves. The results are light, breezy and easy to wear.
“The underlying idea of my work is restricted to clear forms and the principle of sequences. Simple, flat braids are wound around and over themselves, to form a spiral and provide an unusual aesthetic in the third dimension. These pieces of jewelry have both appearance and a surface, making it hard to imagine their origin – a new interpretation of an ancient technique and an alliance of the traditional married to the innovative.” Anna Hennig
