My latest work - I collaborated with jewellery brand TSL!
I love this video as it pretty much sums up my life in Shanghai and the way I work on each project. I'm inspired by the older parts of Shanghai - I love strolling through the old alleyways where I stay to see how the locals go about their daily lives. I love brainstorming and sketching in quaint little cafes on Wukang Lu in the French Concession area, and sometimes I work from my Shanghainese grandaunty's living room whenever I miss her and want to say hi. I source my materials from wholesale markets (I usually go to the one at Yuyuan - it's got everything!), and spend a lot of time hunting and bargaining in these markets. I transport all these materials and my canvases to my studio and create my pieces there.
The jewellery collection shown here were inspired by elements of South America. I chose materials and patterns that reflected these elements and gave all four women different distinctive personalities. My favourite piece is the Estrella collection - which in Spanish means "Starry Flower". I've used thread and pins for that piece and turned them into dandelion-like patterns that flow into the night sky. The necklace in this collection contains 100 facet-cut diamonds (diamonds conventionally have 58-facets) - the dandelion patterns are carefully calculated for the positioning of the pins. The thread is then tied onto the pins. The inner circle of the dandelion is much more intricate with more concentration of threads, reflecting the craft behind the Estrella collection.
Big props to Restless Productions for the video - they have been so awesome to work with!
