YING Xuan   Jewellery


应璇         首饰设计


As a would-be jewellery designer, jewellery is the medium for me to express my unique perspective on the world around us. I combine my vision with the design of the jewellery and use the way the jewellery interacts with the wearer’s body to convey the message I want to convey.

In my work Suffocation, I was inspired by the fact that man-made factors contribute significantly to the lack of oxygen in manatees due to the proliferation of seaweed. I attempted to incorporate materials related to seaweed into the work, such as sodium alginate. The work revolves around the face because environmental pollution and ocean pollution are more human-caused, so I wanted the wearer to experience what it's like to be in a manatee's situation. The work uses bubble gum as a material, combined with a net-like framework that is sealed to the wearer’s face so that people can visually experience the pain of wanting to breathe but being blocked by the outer frame. By oxidizing the metal to black, I wanted to visually convey the pain of suffocation to the wearer and highlight the despair of marine life in the ocean.

I created a series of work themed Warmth based on my observation that it’s quite easy to become lost in thought when staring at warm yellow tone. Feeling warm, the longer I watched, the blurrier my vision became. I found this feeling very fascinating, so I wanted to express it through a series of accessory works that transform glasses. The halo of the sun gave me inspiration, with three different colours from light to dark. Therefore, I used UV glue as the main material for the product. The transparent and translucent properties of UV glue effectively express the concept I am eager to convey.

作为一名准首饰设计师,首饰对于我来说是表达自我视角的媒介。我将自己对周遭的环境和生物的特殊视角,结合运用到首饰的设计中去。并且我利用首饰结合佩戴者的身体这一方式使佩戴者感同身受我想传递的信息。

在作品《窒息感》中,以海牛因为海藻的泛滥而缺氧为灵感,我尝试加入了有关海藻本身的材料去融入作品,比如海藻酸钠。作品都是围绕着面部去展开。因为环境和海洋的污染本质上人为因素占比更多,所以我想让佩戴者感同身受海牛的处境。作品利用泡泡胶这一材料,结合封固在人面部的网状框架,让人们从视觉感受到想呼吸却被外面的框架给阻挡住的痛苦。将金属氧化成黑色,既想从视觉上让佩戴者感受到缺氧带来的痛苦,并且能突出海洋生物在海洋中的绝望。

在作品《暖》系列中,因为我看到有关暖黄色的色调就会发呆,人会感觉很温暖,看久了视线逐渐会变模糊,我觉得这种感觉很奇妙所以想通过一系列由眼镜变形的配饰作品的方式表达出来。太阳的光晕给了我灵感,三种不同颜色从浅到深。因此用uv胶这一材料来当成品主要的部分。uv胶的透明、透光性能很好的表达我想传递的概念。
