Illustrative Neckpiece Closer

UPDATED with professional photograph.


~ "My major project is based around the idea of water and, in a way, the more disgusting elements of the human body. I plan to play with the ways in which the human body can be manipulated and magnified, even extended into the negative space, by the use of water - be it running smoothly across the figure or dribbling from between the crevices.

I intend to employ the use of illustrative and digital practices to create an item of jewellery that can be clearly connected to my passion for drawing and anatomy." ~


Whist I've tried several times, I can't really express how much in love I was with this project. It has helped me explore parts of my mind that I never thought existed, and open my mind to a world of inspiration and wonder that had previously only ever been able to briefly grasp.

The piece above is the product of 15 weeks of work - of research, of experimentation, of personal exploration, of tears and blood, and of unexplainable passion. The piece itself is a neckpiece that rests across the bust area, and is composed of resin and silver. The image in the neckpiece is my vector piece Closer which was originally based on a photograph of myself.
