Bulldog by Kadri Mälk

Mälk’s exhibition Bulldog primarily comprises pieces created over the last five years. At its core is a work dedicated to her instructor, Leili Kuldkepp. The bulldog metaphor, which the artist describes as a balanced and intelligent being, ties the pieces together fluidly. While seemingly domesticated, the animal still possesses a degree of innate fierceness and that, which is invisible to the naked eye – qualities that Mälk’s jewelry also emits in bursts. The pieces selected for the exhibition guide the viewer to forge connections between the author’s concepts and her own inner landscapes.
