Artist list

Kimiaki Kageyama
The brooches, Rose and Sakura, are finely detailed and luscious - hard to fathom that they are mostly made of metal and urethane resin paint, (Sakura also has pearls and coral).
The rings have mounted stones from the Kamo River, found by Kageyama fifteen years ago while visiting a friend’s studio and roaming on the river bank. They also employ 300-year old Urishi, various natural pigments, and gold. Bold and elegant - sculptural and raw, the rings engage an old material in a very modern way.
