I don’t know about you but when I look at some of Geraldine Nishi’s work I see luscious cake frosting and ice cream piled high onto rings and necklaces. Yum.
Nishi obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours in Sculpture and Painting) from UVic before studying at Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence (2005 – 2009)
You can check out more of her work on her website here.
Izabella Petrut is the Romanian-born maker behind these pieces. She has both a Bachelors (2007) and a Masters (2009) in Design from the University of Arts and Design at Cluj-Napoca in Romania. And… she’s a graduate of GJ3 Specialization program at Alchimia, School of contemporary Jewelry, Florence, Italy (2012). And… she’s currently studying for her doctorate at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
Raw stones, paper and even little plastic toys feature in her beautifully non-traditional work. You can check out her website here or follow her on Instagram here.
I don’t know how google formulates search results but I feel as though I stumbled onto this maker today using the words ‘Zoe’ and ‘Clare’. Zoe Clare was the maker I was searching for. She’s a ceramic sculptor and I’ll be profiling her in a future post. But google also found Clare Pentlow on the same page and I think her work is worth sharing. There’s not a ton of information on this Clare’s ‘about’ page but she describes herself as a paper artist making ‘intricate and complex pieces from simple sheets of paper, cutting, folding and layering each sheet to create stunning geometric designs and patterns’. I can’t imagine how long it takes to make these pieces. And from such an everyday material. If you’re on Instagram you can follow Clare here.
