"Divergence" Generative Earrings
The forest blooms and unfolds, grows, and dies with the natural flow of things. Everything seems to be in its place, well proportioned, and intricately detailed. Oftentimes I wonder if the reason we create is an attempt to satisfy the disconnection we have from nature - to find some way to be closer to the unfolding of things - to find the nature within ourselves.
Our culture usually things of humans as separate from nature. We tend to see it from a distance, through windows and screens. When we think of our own nature, it is easy to feel the same artificiality and detachment - but it is undeniable, we are a part of this world and ecosystem. The plants and animals are our distant relatives. We belong here, together - and though we can forget that nature, it is still there, and we carry its essence with us wherever we go. We are the unfolding, blooming and changing buds of the tree of life, and although in some sense we experience life as disparate and discontinuous, in another sense we are all the connected expressions of the same experience, reaching into the world, feeling, growing, and finding ourselves.
These earring designs came out of experiments in computer simulations of growth patterns, where each piece reflects a unique growing system. Every set is a one-off which is mathematically generated, 3D printed, and then hand-cast in metals with lost-wax casting.
