The Subtly Ring is designed with a hidden compartment built inside of the structure. Two components comprise the ring that is divided into halves. The first half of the section is the positive form, and has the shelf protruding from the interior face, while the second half contains the cavity that hosts the shelf. Two holes placed above each component houses rare earth magnets that secure the ring within itself.
The ring is meant to be elegant while being able to contain miniature secrets which is dictated by the wearer. From hiding pills, to a petite letter to keeping drug paraphernalia close on hand, one is always conscious of what they are hiding and can now do so with style.Jewelry Design2012 -
The Parfum Container is inspired by the novel Das Parfumes: The Story of a Murderer, in which a perfume apprentice from the 18th Century becomes obsessed with finding the “perfect scent” and evolves into a serial killer. This form is inspired by the ending of the novel; the materpiece perfume which he created. The Container holds a potent perfume that can only be experienced when opened, otherwise the powerful scent is subdued.Metal Working2012 -
The Constructivist Scarab Beetle is inspired by the ancient Egyptian aesthetic of good luck charms, and the constructivists structural craftmanship. The influence taken from the ancient Egyptian style is seen on the base of the form, where there are no legs of the scarab, instead there is a secondary platform which elevates the whole structure. The constructivist influence is in the planar structure of the scarab, where the sheets of silver define the interior form of the scarab while implying a three dimensional form around itself.Metal Working2012 -
The Memories Deconstructed: Keepsake is inspired by the film Everything is Illuminated; it explores how we cognitively construct and interact with memories. Exploring how we construct and interact with our emotions, the box and the elements inside show how the phyisological chemicals in our brains are the structural foundatino that our emotions use to build memories, and how in return our emotions construct the details of our memories.
By opening the box, we deconstruct the elements that make up these elements, to which there are two elements: the physiological construction (the image) and the emotional details (the rasterized slides). Images themselves are chemical processes that create the physical image (of which images themselves are a host for memories). The images used are rasterized and extracted into a CMYK format. The physical entity of a photograph is broken down into its primary elements. These primary elements are now symbolic for the emotions, which when reassembled recreate the memory. The act of removing and adding slides is the act of analyzing a specific aspect of a memory that is generally fueled by a prominent emotion.Metal Working2012 -
The Etiquette Spoon is forged in a manner reminiscent of etiquette teachings. When being trained in etiquette our natural instincts for interacting with objects and physical posture are counteracted and trained in an opposing manner, so as to seem graceful and elegant. We must train ourselves to appropriated these mannerisms so that they seem natural. The Etiquette Spoon embodies this principle. One must show the user how to hold the spoon properly, in a counterintuitive manner, and they must train their hand to grasp it accordingly so they use it. The bowl of the spoon is functional, but it is petite. As a person of manners does not take large mouthfuls, but instead small savory bites.Metal Working2012 -
The Ear Encapsulators are inspired by cocoons, whose casings are spun of silk as a protective covering for pupa. They can be tough or soft, opaque or translucent, solid or meshlike, and depending on the insect can be composed of many layers. Insects that pupate in a cocoon must escape from it, which they do by either cutting its way out or by secreting fluids that soften the cocoon. They are constructed with built-in line of weakness along which acts as a passage way out. The Ear Encapsulator houses the ear like a pupate, protective and secure.Jewelry Design2012 -
The Corset: A Man’s Collar Appropriated is an exploration into the classic detachable collar, where I appropriate a distinctly male piece of attire and reconstruct it to the levels of discomfort and social grace only seen n a womans corset. The aesthetic stays true to the original design of a detachable collar, yet the form is constructed in a manner that when worn constrains the neck far beyond a level of mere discomfort and enforces a confined ability to verbally articulate.
Originally, detachable collars were invented and became popular because of shifts in the ways that prosperous people demonstrated respectability and affluence. They have long been linked to high status and are seen as a visual representation of the “new man”.Metal Working, Fashion, Crafts2012
