Jill Herlands is a self-taught art-jewelry artist living and working in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. Jill began her metalwork career in 2015 and uses hand fabrication to create miniature sculptures. She works with precious metals and raw gemstones, as well as non-traditional materials such as concrete and resin. Her mission is to create experimental and elaborate wearable art forms that redefine 'accessory' and stretch the imagination
Statement
Metalwork came by accident for me, and the moment I held the torch and the flame errupted, I was enthralled. I approach my work not as jeweler, but as an artist who creates metal sculptures.Hand fabrication is my technique of choice and I thrive in an atmosphere of controlled chaos. As I create, I look for tension through disturbing symmetry, thus revealing unrecognizable shapes.
I am pushed by the response of the metal to the fire, which compels me to shape the metal beyond its preconceived limitations. The metal becomes flexible and open to the addition of other materials, which creates a result not predetermined.
I find inspiration in New York City’s constantly evolving architecture. I find pleasure in deconstruction and am driven to push the boundaries of metalwork to build anew. I believe that the only true ways to discovery are experimentation, taking risks and making mistakes.
My attitude towards life, and my art, is decidedly non-conformist.
