Rethinking the Divide: The Natural and the Artificial in Contemporary Jewellery (2/3). Spotlight Artworks by Klimt02
Published: 15.01.2025

The representation of nature is both the skilful reproduction of objects and beings as they exist in the natural world and a way of recreating this world a second time, using the means at humanity's disposal. This second creation, achieved through a system of processes, and technique, which can itself be seen as an extension of human natural abilities, thus becomes a vehicle for expressing what we perceive as natural.
This text marks the second in a three-part spotlight series exploring the ambiguous and captivating dialogue between the natural and the artificial through a selection of contemporary jewellery pieces.
The series will unfold across the following parts:
Part 1. The Reproduction of Nature Through the Creative Hand.
Part 2. Shaping Nature: The Interconnection Between Natural and Artificial.
Part 3. Towards a Post-Natural Future: The Human-Environment Relationship in the Anthropocene Era.
