Guest Star #72...Farrah Al-Dujaili

 
Necklace

Today's Guest Star is Farrah Al-Dujaili. Farrah's pieces are truly drawings in metal. They have a wonderful gestural quality created in copper with enamel paint, water color, pencil, and thread instead of pen and paper. I imagine these works developing just as a drawing would, but 3-dimensionally in space until they feel complete. I also like how Farrah treats the surface of each wire with a light touch and airy color palette.

Be sure to check out the modelled section on Farrah's blog to see images of the jewelry on a person. It's great to see how the pieces interact with the body and clothing and you might be surprised at the scale.

Thanks for reading.
