jewellery that touches back
Stroke Me is the closest I have reached in making the tactile sublime. Although still an ongoing investigation, the first wearable pieces are complete.
This articulated titanium brooch is lightweight, yet draping, undulating, strokeable. It has a personality, at times it seems alive and responsive to touch.
Two streams of investigation converge: one of theoretical research into the emotional potential of tactile objects, especially jewellery, and a second physical and technical investigation into how to create nuzzling, clinging, draping articulation at a wearable scale.
This is on the path to creating jewellery which touches back. Watch this space.
