MAdness in the Method

Chih-Chen Liu My jewellery design focuses on capturing the playfulness in an imaginary world of childhood memories.

When we grow up, we no longer have the time to indulge in fantasies like children, though we may wish we could. I aim to draw attention to this feeling of childhood freedom, and remind us of something we have unconsciously lost.

Multiple layers of paper represent a growing person who is accumulating knowledge and experience to solidify the form of the self.

My use of bone is a reference to memory and the imagination, connecting the wearer with nature through its tactile qualities. I intend for my work to encourage the wearer to regain the pleasure of this lost time; providing them with a visual delight.
