Reeli Luutsepp. Necklace: Kindling, 2017. Plaster bandage, silver, silver, ink..
. My work comes from the inside of a tree. I was inspired by a simple and daily, yet vital activity; heating my house with wood. The wood logs reveal the beauty and the uniqueness of each individual tree, that would otherwise stay hidden from human sight. The silver rings and earrings are wood pieces cast in silver - the wood completely burns during the process and silver takes its exact form instead. The black neck-pieces are made using a plaster bandage by placing it between two wood logs and pressing them together until the plaster is completely dry. The pieces are coated in black ink.
