My work explores a perception of beauty that is imperfect and transient- essentially Japanese Wabi Sabi- with a modern punk rock aesthetic. Ideas and patterns from the natural world, such as animal print, have been co-opted in fashion for generations.

I aim to imitate the crumpled tinfoil material, through natural gestures, similar to those of a child playing, and making jewelry out of chocolate tinfoil wrapper. Moreover, tinfoil is a metaphor for life’s hardships, which “crumple” us, make us wish to give up on any hope of going on, but, through the right technique, it can become a piece of jewelry.

Woman, so not human. Mature, so not young. Not too beautiful, but not too ugly. With a sense of humor so a survivor. Otherwise a little lost. With higher medical education, not really for nothing because it helps me treat the common cold in my family. Great craftsman since young, but also fond of painting and dancing. Therefore, the trilemma: what would I be when I grow older? A trilemma that I am trying to solve now, when it’s almost 10 years since I’ve met David hidden in a corner of Dalles Gallery, tinkering with his hammers and files. It was lucky meeting him. Since then I learn, I try, I stop and I learn, I try and I stop again. Everything is a great joy, but not so much when I stop.

Jewelry has always mesmerized me, as a form of expression that is integrated in all the other arts. When I create, it’s a playful process. I play with the matter and ideas…I invent. I improvise…
The base of the design is the idea that a piece of jewelry is a functional work of art. A form that inspires, creates emotion, memories and feelings.
TingTing Chen & Xiyu Chen’s work has been discussing the relationship between jewelry and people. They believe in making is thinking. With the fast pace of life in today’s society, people often ignore the reflection on the relationship between each other, leading to people’s confusion about marriage, social loss or even loss of hope. TingTing Chen & Xiyu Chen’s work is like a stimulant that encourages people to keep thinking and no longer be confused.

The brand was established in 2012 from the creative “union” of Gaia Guarnieri and Caterina Martinelli. In 2014, they started the Aquamadre project, aimed at testing the creative potential of recycled plastic materials. In the following years, the project consolidated and evolved, focusing on the creation of contemporary jewels. Thus MagmaLaB Contemporary Jewels Different by Nature was born: accessories entirely hand-made from up-cycled plastic, the result of research, experimentation and unique manufacturing.

The motifs that I most often use in my artwork are derived from natural plant forms through stylized drawing of the bird’s eye view of a flower. I believe, when plainness and symmetry of the motif combines with textured and colored metal, it creates objects that connect history to modern day.

While still referencing my interest in industrial remnants, these works, created in 2020 are a fresh view and exploration with an emphasis on color. I am always seeking a way to invoke a sense of industrial history through form and material but have chosen to soften the edges with a whispery palette of pastels and sensual surfaces. I use liquid enamels over copper and various mark making techniques to achieve the graphic surface designs. My work references African Mali beadwork and Aboriginal repetitive mark making as a way to place emphasis and pay homage to the enslaved, marginalized and indigenous peoples who have contributed to the rich and vibrant African American craft culture of today.

My work is greatly informed by my surroundings. I seek out texture and pattern in the natural and man made environments in which I find myself, and these elements inform my work. Finding their way into pieces directly or abstracted. I intend for the viewer to glimpse just enough to trigger their own memory and enact a sense of nostalgia or familiarity. I continuously flow between jewelry, vessels, sculpture and drawing with each process informing the others.
