KK Wearable Sculpture


About The Artist
Kathleen King • Brooklyn, NY
Jewelry • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
I’ve worked in many disciplines—computers, painting, film—and I call upon these various skills while I’m creating my jewelry. They add layers to the work. Everything is crossed referenced. I design on the computer and finish in metal; two very different worlds. During the process, I connect them through the story that’s developing: Nature, emotions. It’s this flow that keeps the piece from being just one thing. I want my work to be open to new stories by whoever wears them.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.First comes a ‘what would this look like’ and I play. Then I’ll gather reference. It takes a while for me to make things. I’m always learning what they look like since it’s almost never what I imagined. I use Zbrush on the computer to design, 3D print, then cast, patina, set stones. In every step of the process, I pause and assess for either design or technical reasons. So I’m constantly going back and forth between the feeling world and the material world. Both are important. |
