Jewellery sculptures and contemporary jewellery by Sari Liimatta…

About the surprises. In order to assemble something new some things have to be put away, removed; things get lost, disappear or become forgotten. Only broken surface can let us see the hidden price. How far can you go within the boundaries of trust, how close can you let yourself get to someone or let someone get close to you. I just tell what happened to characters. I just try to describe. During some tiny tiny moments which proved to be meaningful afterwards…”

Orphans

Washed

The fascinating illustrations by Chelsea Greene Lewyta, where sweetness, melancholy, eros and violence cohesist in harmony…

“Few details separate my work from my life and from myself. I view it all as a great schism between the beautiful and the macabre.”

Ink Storm,the fascinating graduation project of Marc van Gennip…

“INK STORM is a research of bleeding ink into prints.By interrupting the process by hand, a storm of ink will be released within the prints.This then transforms from being static and geometric into dramatic and organic.The Storms are controllable, but once released they will go their own way.
Every storm has it’s own spontaneous colournuances and shapes”

A really great work of research which will surely  show a new way forward to  textile prints enhancement and such a poetical way to emphasize how beautiful randomness can be!

Il sistema degli oggetti (The name, as the philosophy of the brand,  is taken from Baudrillard’s book The system of objects) is an upcoming Italian brand which recently presented its SS11 men collection at Pitti in Florence.  A great attention to details and materials, a work of research on clothing archetypes, mixed with good cuts characterize these garments which give to classic icons (such as parkas) a new taste.

The crocheted art by Joana Vasconcelos…

“…I try to generate situations where mental processes might happen. It’s about generating time. In a first instant, my work might come across as being just pretty, but there’s something behind that. I am of course aware of the beauty, because beauty is essential in gaining time. You would never approach something ghastly. If you do, you approach it with fear…”

I love Marloes ten Bhömer’s shoes, they  seem to come straight from the future, with their uncommon architecture-like structure…

“If the key commandment of glamorous, upscale shoe design for women is to amplify and exaggerate the curves of the human foot, ten Bhömer’s shoes are riotous and sensuous sinners” (Shumon Basar, design and architecture critic)

If you wish to see them closely, they will be exhibited at Jerwood Contemporary Makers, 17 June – 25 July 2010 , Jerwood Space, London
