Nora Fok is an artist that is known for her beautiful and unusual designs for jewellery, her pieces are very delicate and intricate which is very instinctive to her.
She says that she is intrigued and inspired by the world around her asking questions and trying to find answers to them. she likes to relate to nature, structure, mysteries and magic.
her work usually takes a long time with lots of hours of work as they are quite complicated.
knowing this and looking at her work you can appreciate the ideas and the dedication she puts into these beautiful designs she makes.
to me they are very abstract and very original pieces of jewellery that you would never see anywhere else. using very delicate materials these create a very interesting texture as some look see-through. colour is not necessarily focused on but it is incorporated in some but they are usually soft pastel colours.
i love her work as it definitely has the wow factor, it grabs your attention and you want to look closer to see how it was made. although i would never wear it myself as i don't think its made for everyday use.
Junko Mori
Is a Japenese silversmith and a modernist sculptor who works with metal.
her work consists of mainly hand forged pieces joined together in a form that is both organic and minimalist.
Her work seems to have a theme of these balls of steel rods all packed together and twisting in and out of each other to create a ball or big clump of metal. sometimes incorporating other shapes of flatter metal or balls of metal in different colours.
when i first saw it, it reminded me of an explosion. in another way when i looked at it again it locks in light and creates shadows which creates great colour differences on the sculptor.
i dont like her work that much as to me i cant see a meaning to it other than an interesting composition of metal. i can tell that this takes a lot of work to create but it doesn't excite me. however the big sculptures would be great to go and visit as i bet they have a massive impact on the audience because of their size.
