Prior to becoming a jewelry artist, Jill Herlands worked in A&R in the music industry. Ever fascinated by unknown and unanticipated, Herlands trusts her instinct, innovation and experimentation to inform her process. She possesses a balance and familiarity with what some might consider risktaking, and her ability to orchestrate both creative tension and unpredictable resolve provides a steady source of surprise and delight for her collectors. Herlands work is featured in magazine editorials such as Bazaar, Paper, Nylon, Marie Claire, Feroce, Bella, Fashionisto, SEE, Flanelle, JAMS and more. Her collections can be found at galleries and boutiques worldwide. Herlands is self-taught and lives and works in New York City.
Statement
As a self-taught jewelry artist, I am unbound by rules. My techniques are experimental, and my materials are chosen with contrast in mind. My creative process is one of spontaneity of the form and the composition, while the imperfection becomes the strength of the work. Ever fascinated by curiosity and the unknown, I trust my imagination, innovation and experimentation to inform my process. Some might consider working without a plan as risky, but to me it is as natural as breathing. I strive to orchestrate both creative tension and unpredictable resolve providing a steady source of surprise and delight. My goal is to have my work elicit the same feeling as watching fireworks explode … the tension as it skyrockets and the ‘ahhh’ in the visual exhale./ Jill Herlands
