Mingled Pendant
The Antunes Collection was commissioned by the Fruitmarket Gallery Shop in Edinburgh to coincide with their 2023 solo exhibition of Leonor Antunes titled “The apparent length of a floor area”.
I spent time thinking about the way Leonor disrupts modernist grids through her use of unlikely materials, knots and hinges. The chainmail technique I usually adopt in my practice can be very regimented and ordered in its purest form. Like Antunes, I am interested in finding ways to disrupt this order. I have mixed the use of rubber and silver links and worked across two directional planes simultaneously to created the “mingled” pieces. I like how the interaction between two materials with identical forms but opposite material characteristics creates this logically made aesthetic mess. The chainmail technique switches directions as it is either built up across the width of a couple of small rubber links or along the length of a larger one.
Rubber, Oxidised Sterling Silver
Please Note: this piece is currently made to order and you should expect a lead time of 3-5 days beyond the delivery time quoted at checkout.
