Brutal Jewellery
Published 24/11/2011 Brutal Jewellery , WORK 1 CommentTags: architecture, brutalist, jewellery, mens, modernist, necklace, ring, silver, statement pieces

I have designed a men’s range of jewellery under the brand name ‘BRUTAL JEWELLERY‘.
The unconventional says it is:
A modernist jewellery line drawing inspiration from strong brutalist architecture and constructual forms, for a bold statement against todays fabrics.
All pieces have been designed by me, and hand made by Luke Anthony – the jeweller for Velvet Noir (as featured in British Vogue under Best of British). They are plated in silver, then again in antique silver which is rubbed and brushed to bring out small detail.
They are now available to buy at theunconventional.co.uk
You can see the whole collection on Facebook.

CASTING

About to go out and do some research for a new project. Not to think too far ahead but for now I’ll be looking at certain areas around Sheffield. Then certain areas within those areas. Repeat. Until I find something quite specific. When I’ve found [it], I shall cast from it.
I don’t know what will happen with the negative cast yet.
I don’t usually post up thoughts for projects but I feel like I owe my blog an update.
An inspiration! Thanks diefabrik.

Love these. If I designed a building it’d probably come out something like this.

I just read an amazing account of an author’s [Henry Shukman] exploration of ‘Europe’s strangest wildlife refuge, an enchanted postapocalyptic forest from which entirely new species may soon emerge.’
For anyone interested in Chernobyl, wildlife, subversive spaces, architecture, or even psycho-geography and art, this is a must read.
I saw the link on Twitter thanks to bldgblog << who you should follow if you're not already.
Find the text HERE, and let me know what your thoughts on it are.

Some shots of different pieces of work by BAPTISTE DEBOMBOURG. Thanks to BUMBUMBUM for directing me to the work.
I think I love 90% of work that relates to architecture, the built environment, installation art, urban environments, text, interventions, etc. This stuff seems to tick all the boxes… What do you think? I’d like to start using my blog as a means of generating discussion, critical or otherwise, so use the comments if you have anything you’d like to say!
