Rubber floc king pearls by Holly Hendry
Necklace
The inspiration and concept for my current collection of jewellery began with my fascination with rubber and the way I observed how people react to it. The material provokes its vast range of associations, from feelings of reassurance, amusement and intrigue, to discomfort, embarrassment, stimulation, and disgust.
My work consists of a range of neckpieces, brooches and rings made from silicone rubber in fluorescent reds, neutral flesh tones and muted greys. The forms I create are highly flexible, soft and tactile. I take inspiration from fun forms of toys and balloons to create shapes which are ambiguous and quirky, while being at the same time sophisticated and sculptural.
I like to explore the playfulness of touch and colour together with the way in which a piece connects with the wearer or viewer. Throughout the collection I aimed to create works in which the wearer or viewer may find cheeky hints of the sexual, while at the same time being attracted to the playful and enjoyable qualities of the material.
