The Untangled Movement
It's all about creating something out of the world
Jewellery & Small Objects
Techniques of jewellery making
My jewellery is the contemporary interpretation of the
modernist art movement, Cubism and Suprematism,
which is a simplified, minimalistic form of nature where everything is
only made of outlines and 2-dimensional geometric shapes.
Inspiration
Cubism inspired art

Cubism
An European art movement that represented the 3-dimensional space on a 2-dimensional canvas, where objects were analysed, broken up, and reassembled in an abstract form where the artist tries to depict the same object from a different perspective at that same moment.
Suprematism
A Russian art movement that concentrated on basic geometric shapes like circles, squares, lines, and
rectangles, painted in a limited range of colours
Kazimir Malevich
Eight Red Rectangles
1915
Untitled Proun image, ca. 1925
After looking into some of the famous art pieces, I settled on making earrings and rings with only wires and flat sheets in geometrical shapes from Suprematism and organic shapes from early Cubism, layering them together to give perspective. Such designs are minimalistic and timeless.
Getting there..
Sketching my ideas down
The following photos are shots of my notebook. I have sketches to record my ideas for
the different jewellery. However, most of the time I do not follow my designs completely. I
make modifications along the way as I create my ring/ pair of earrings in class, due to
inspirations I come across throughout the day. Also, I write my plan for the day in the
book, so I can be more efficient and know what I have to complete by the lesson ends.
Preparing my jewellery for final review
I’m extremely thankful for this experience as I would not have learned how to make jewellery or done any metalwork if not for the exchange to Brisbane. I'm glad that it is because of this class, I started SoChinq and KOBO.
