Such are the joys of googling away the day, I came across these wonderful woven sculptures and items of jewellery by Anastasia Azure. Multi-layered, multi dimensional and multi-faceted, I long to see this work in the flesh! The sculptures in particular look hypnotic and so precisely woven - the photographs certainly don't reveal the fabrics beginning and end.
In her own words:
Anastasia Azure is the originator of Dimensional-Weave™ which combines ancient weaving, traditional metalsmithing and contemporary materials. She creates sculpture and jewelry, hand-woven on a floor loom with metals and plastics. Her forms are inspired by the elegance of geometry. She dedicated a three-year residency, at the Appalachian Center for Craft, to the research and development of Dimensional-Weave™. Presently, she resides in Providence, RI where she is completing her MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design. First introduced to jewelry fabrication at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts, she continued more rigorous training at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts, San Francisco, graduating in 2001. While earning her BFA in 2005 from California College of the Arts, she discovered weaving’s immense importance to her life’s work. Her art has won many awards, most recently the 2010 Niche Award for Handwoven Fibers. One of her sculptural bracelets is featured on the cover of 500 Plastic Jewelry Designs published by Lark Books. Her artwork is published and exhibited nationally as well as internationally. |
