Jacqueline Mina In my work I aim to achieve an aesthetic result that obscures the technical rigours of its production. I am preoccupied mainly with the surfaces of precious metals (which I always affect in some way before construction begins) and with form - juxtaposing the play of light, reflection, lustre with characteristic angle, curve and line - inspired by an abstraction of nature and art, and particularly of the human form. I am
intrigued, too, by the potential for dialogue between inner and
outer planes, with random patterns imprisoned within strictly delineated
edges and the visual tension created by the contrast and harmony
of all these factors. |
