Do Eun Hyung Kim’s three-dimensional pencil drawings on crumpled paper bring drawing into the category of sculpture? The Korean artist explains that the “folded lines on a crumpled surface provides for interesting story lines, as this visual format lies between sculpture and two-dimensional drawings. Viewers can travel around in the crumpled structure by following tiny clones that I have designed.”

“I sweep out my thoughts from my mind and pour those images into my work. This process of “sweeping out” makes very dense and crowded images as various forms of doodling, and it directly shows what I have inside me—even every detail of my private memories.”

I find the peek-a-boo quality of this jewelry appealing and engaging. Each individual component invites you to move in closer to the whole with a promise of discovery, and when you do you are rewarded: flowers within flowers, semi-precious gem centers, lovely tiny details.

Also notable is the way Germany’s Nora Rochel connects the components of the Egg-Puzzle neck piece pictured above. Room for exploration. . .

“Wearing Nora Rochel‘s rings turns one‘s hands into small landscapes and gardens. Many of the rings are fanciful, but often the source of inspiration is a real flower. Characteristic features are hidden details like small flowers on the inside or the use of different metals in one piece. They catch the instant of a flower‘s pure vitality while avoiding kitsch.” From the artist’s website

Claudia Rinneberg’s brooches are like looking at roughly sketched narratives in metal and plastic. This imperfect collection of shapes and stories by Germany’s Rinneberg is sometimes humorous, sometimes thought provoking (Relations Family Therapy and Round Table Family Therapy) and always interesting.

I’ve long believed what an artist does with a material is more important than the actual material itself. 
Transition, necklace, Nespresso capsules, gold
Nolia Shakti proves my point by mixing precious and non-precious materials – discarded Nespresso capsules and gold – in the pieces pictured here.
Louise, necklace, Nespresso capsules, gold
Sun, brooch, Nespresso capsules, brass, textile
Shakti, fascinated with the capsules that hold coffee for the Nespresso machine, deconstructs and repurposes the small, pod-like vessels. Part moving sculpture, part jewelry, all good.

You might not understand the language but her work (1:37 – 1:43 minutes into the video) speaks volumes.
