Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School. MFA Degree Show 2019. Bewilder by Kristin Leigh Knoll

I am fascinated by the friction between existing societal norms, and our intimate inner lives as individuals. Much like surrealist sculptors May Ray or Méret Oppenheim, I hope to puncture the thin veneer of reality and tap into the subconscious mind. I aim to create works that bewilder, using a contradiction of logic in function, in association with the physical senses. In this series, archetypes that reference societal roles are transformed to express individual tensions with that norm.
