Statement
Through composing jewelry works related to forms and marks, I explore relationships between practices and rituals, artificial objects, and their interconnection. Similarities among traditional art-making processes, industrial production, and art training I received, which all required massive and repetitive actions, led my interests towards experimental practices of combining artificial objects. It is a game between objects and myself - by keeping using the same artifact as a basic module, variation and transformation of forms have no end; All feeling and thinking will reveal on the surface subtly through layered painting and sanding with honest mistake and imperfection. My work aims to change the viewer’s perception of objects and materials through observation.Sarra Tzijan, Adelaide, South Australia
