Erin Daniell has crafted these simple organic 'Bind' stud earrings out of wax. Twisting the medium until she creates a long piece of textured wax, this twisting technique gives the stud an irregular grooved texture with differing thicknesses. Attached to the middle of the cyclindrical form is a stud post and butterfly clip.
Materials: Sterling silver
Dimensions: 7.5mm x 3mm x 3mm
Erin Daniell is a contemporary jeweller and visual artist based in Adelaide, South Australia. Her works explore the concept of beauty and growth, in the form of small-scale organic sculptures, cast from hand carved wax or natural materials with traditional silversmithing techniques. Employing her own take on the ancient wax casting techniques, she manipulates liquid wax by pulling and twisting to create fragile forms that are each as unique as a fingerprint when they are cast in metal. This process infuses her designs with natural textures that carry an elemental aesthetic, reminiscent of mollusc spiral growth patterns and coastal erosion striations.
