My collection "Digital Desires" explores the untouchability of the digital age.Typically within the jewellery world a huge amount of value is still placed on materiality or precious materials. However, we also now place a lot of value in our digital data too. My pieces represent the dip between reali
ty and virtual reality.
Inspired by idea of a jewellery box, this sculpture suspends typical jewellery forms of the chain and pearl necklace within, like a fossilised form. The jewellery inside can be seen, desired and admired, but cannot be touched, suggesting as though it were a thing of the past as the digital renders the physicality of jewellery forms extinct in the future. The image reveals itself to be false like a hologram as you move around and view it to the side and the images disappear into faint lines.
