Shuming Chen

My work can be described as a contemporary jewellery exploration of architecture. I am interested in contemporary and unconventional architectonic designs where lines can be easily identified and their creation of empty spaces is clear. My work re-interprets architectonic spaces delineated by linear structures into wearable jewellery pieces and sculptural objects.
I am passionate about working with a combination of soft and hard materials. I use bamboo filaments combined with industrial metal tubes as they allow me to communicate my ideas and concept. The elasticity of the bamboo makes it a very malleable element with endless design possibilities and makes my jewellery pieces practically weightless. At the same time, the original natural colour of the bamboo itself has a close connection with the gold-plated tube elements. The colour of both materials practically blend creating an illusion of a perfect and harmonic combination, suited to each other.
My collection of brooches, rings, earrings and headpieces aim at being playful and interactive. They can be re-arranged and restructured by changing the position of its elements while creating miniature architectonic spaces.
