Take a ball of thread…
a jewellery project by Melinda Young
opens at Pablo Fanque tomorrow. If I was in Sydney I'd be there in a flash, for sure!
Melinda has created a really awe-inspiring collection of pink jewellery (oh so my favourite kind!) from a simple and brilliant idea. As she states at the beginning of her project, The plan is to use this entire ball of pink thread I found to make a series of new jewellery pieces .
Not only are the end result and concept fabulous, but so is the fact that Melinda has documented the entire process. Such insight into the creative process, although more common now with the proliferation of blogs/websites, can still unfortunately be hard to come by. Knowing how/why something was made adds so much to the experience of viewing/understand the work, and as importantly, the person behind the work. More of it I say!
