FAUX PEARL NECKLACE, 2022
This piece was developed in response the exhibition ‘Memories Live Here’ organised by London based Ruup & Form for Collect Art Fair 2022. theme, ‘Faux Pearl Necklace’ explores the idea of memory through our relationship with the real / unreal, presence / absence, tangibility / intangibility and construction/deconstruction. The work uses one of the archetypes of family inherited jewellery, a pearl necklace, and the mental associations that it provokes to embody the idea of memory. The piece is built up by the space around the pretend jewellery piece in the form of clear acrylic blocks, and relies on a visual illusion to come to life.
This new work is part of a development funded by the Arts Council England, Developing your Creative Practice grant, which spans from January to July 2022. During this period, Eva is developing her digital making skills in the field of CNC milling to explore digital and machine assisted sculpting complementing her hand crafting skills.
