About Chiaroscuro ආභරණ එකතුව

Book Text: Chiaroscuro යනු, විවිධ ආකාරයෙන් නැවත නැවත භාවිතා වූ එකම සබැඳි (link) හැඩතලයකින් නිර්මාණය කරන ලද ආභරණ එකතුවකි. මෙම සබැඳි, ABS තාප ප්ලාස්ටික් බහුඅවයවයෙන් දැනටමත් එකිනෙකට සම්බන්ධ ලෙස 3D මුද්‍රණය කර ඇති අතර, එමගින් නිර්මාණයන්ට සැහැල්ලුබව සහ නිදහස් චලනයක් ලබා දේ. තෝරාගත් සබැඳි, මුද්‍රණවලින් ලබාගත් රබර් අච්චු සහ මිශ්‍ර මේ (wax) භාවිතයෙන් ස්ටර්ලින් රිදී වලින් වාත්තු කර ඇත. ස්වාභාවික වර්ණක සහ අලංකාරව සවි කළ ස්ඵටික මගින් ඉදිරිපස සහ පිටුපස යන දෙපැත්තටම වර්ණය හා වයනය එක් කර ඇති අතර, එමගින් කරාබු ඕනෑම කෝණයකින් නැරඹිය හැක. පරිගණක ආශ්‍රිත නිර්මාණකරණය (CAD) සම්ප්‍රදායික රිදී වඩු ශිල්පීය ක්‍රම සමඟ ඒකාබද්ධ කර ඇති අතර, එමගින් සෑම නිර්මාණයක්ම එකම මූලික හැඩතලයකින් ආරම්භ වුවද, අවසානයේ සුවිශේෂී නිර්මාණයක් බවට පත් වේ.

About the A' Design Award ලෝකඩ සම්මානය

Chiaroscuro ආභරණ එකතුව යනු A' Design Award ලෝකඩ සම්මානය දිනූ නිර්මාණයකි; නිර්මාණශීලිත්වය, දක්ෂතාව සහ තීක්ෂ්ණ බුද්ධියෙන් කැපී පෙනෙන විශිෂ්ට නිර්මාණ සඳහා පිරිනමන අතිශය ගෞරවනීය පිළිගැනීමකි. ලෝකඩ ජයග්‍රාහී නිර්මාණ ප්‍රමාණවත් ලෙස දක්ෂ සහ කැපී පෙනෙන ලෙස නිර්මාණශීලී කෘති වන අතර නිර්මාණකරුවන්ගේ පුළුල් අත්දැකීම්, පරිකල්පනය සහ සම්පත්දායකත්වය තහවුරු කරයි. Chiaroscuro ආභරණ එකතුව ඉහළින් අගය කරන, ප්‍රශංසා කරන සහ ආදරය කරන දෙයක් වනු ඇතැයි අපේක්ෂා කෙරේ, කැපී පෙනෙන ලෙස වෘත්තීය සහ නවීන. Chiaroscuro ආභරණ එකතුව අවශ්‍යතා විශිෂ්ට ලෙස සපුරයි, ආශාවන් ස්පර්ශ කරයි, හැඟීම් වශීකරණය කරයි සහ කුතුහලය අවදි කරයි.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: A Jewelry collection exploring different iterations of a singular element in repetition to create a whole. Designing an individual link and pushing the boundaries to how it can be transformed with the use of material and technique combinations. Mirroring the uniqueness of the individual, a repetition of the same form in constant evolution, adding and subtracting but always growing. An exploration that has evolved with me and will continue to develop and change. This design is not only unique in its form but also in its process and materials. An intersection between traditional silversmith techniques and technological advances. A back and forth between Computer-Aided Design and organic exploration through the use of 3D printed ABS, natural dye, cast sterling silver and Swarovski sponsored crystals. Reflecting the concept itself. A combination of elements that change over time being held together by history and contemporaneity.
Dimensions & Packaging: w 37mm x d 12 x h 133.5
Production Technology: This design was made through a combination of traditional silversmith techniques and materials hand in hand with contemporary processes. A combination of the organic and the predetermined results of computer-aided design.
Starting with introspection and taking that to pen and paper through sketching and moving that into 3D modelling programmes. Letting go of my control through the process by 3D printing already connected links in an industry-standard prototyping material (ABS - thermoplastic polymer) with countless failures until achieving a fully printed linked piece. Manipulating the results with organic processes such as dyeing and beading, letting the materials speak to me and following along the curves and ridges. Enhancing the texture normally seen as low quality. It was a constant exploration of the form and the boundaries of linkage. Making rubber moulds in order to make waxes of the 3D prints that could be transformed further with additive/subtractive methods. Casting those results in sterling silver through traditional casting techniques and unifying them with the 3D printed/dyed thermoplastic polymer to create a cohesive connection. Even though each piece starts with the same form, they all end up as completely unique and impossible to re-create exactly.
Inspiration: This body of work examines how one can be simultaneously drawn to places and feelings that are not always equally perceived yet naturally balanced.
They are a chiaroscuro of depth and interpretation creating a marble effect, elements combining over time, through pressure and heat, coming in and out of sight at different moments. When held together, each uniquely designed link portrays how one’s own perspective evolves and grows to exist as a whole.

Project Duration: The project started in Sept 2019 and ended in March 2020. Exhibition at the Savannah College of Art and Design cancelled due to COVID-19. Exhibited virtually.
Operation Flow: These links are 3d printed already connected so there is beautiful movement while wearing and the material makes them extremely weightless. The sterling silver adds the little bit of weight needed to remind yourself you are wearing earrings and the dye/beading is beautiful on the back so the earrings look great from all angles. It performs better because sterling silver can be easily polished and the 3D prints are easy to wipe clean if necessary.
