Work: Ornamental Hands: Figure One is part of a series of sterling silver jewelry that reinforces long held standards of beauty by recreating the elegant hand positions seen in artworks throughout the centuries. Each work consists of attachments for the fingers that are suspended by chains and braced on the wrist or neck, positioning the hand marionette-style. A play on precious jewelry, the real decorative ornament is the gestures these works encourage the wearer to assume. The splint-like aesthetic of the pieces also plays with the idea of training the hand to rest in this graceful manner. Like corsets and other restrictive beauty aids, Ornament Hands is yet another extreme tool for beauty. When not worn, the pieces mount onto displays depicting details from the historic paintings that inspired them. Ornamental Hands: Figure One is in the permanent collection of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.

Серия механических ювелирных изделий лондонской художницы и дизайнера Дженнифер Крупи (Jennifer Crupi) ломает наши представления о том, какими должны быть женские украшения и аксессуары.
С одной стороны изделия художницы внушают некий страх. С другой стороны белый металл и пружины вызывает ассоциацию с медицинскими протезами, что вызывает жалость (как вариант — смех). В результате в эмоциях наступает полный «разрыв шаблона», но вряд ли вы забудете то, что увидели…

Hay un lenguaje que es universal, que se transmite clara y espontáneamente. La expresión corporal son palabras mudas que sin más explicaciones demuestran al instante lo que sentimos y lo que pensamos; ésta reflexión y la exploración del cuerpo humano llevó a Jennifer Crupi a alentar el gesto, amplificando su fuerza al construir varias series de joyería mecánica que se definen como piezas esculturales que incentivan al lenguaje corporal y a la comunicación no verbal.

Originaria de Inglaterra, Jennifer tiene una larga e interesante trayectoria en la que ha elaborado todo tipo de accesorios en los que las acciones toman un protagonismo que se detiene en el tiempo dando un resultado transgresor, creativo y muy noble recordándonos que una acción dice más que mil palabras.

Серия механических ювелирных изделий, созданных лондонским художником-дизайнером Дженнифер Крупи (Jennifer Crupi) может двигаться вместе с вашими руками и ногами. С одной стороны, они напоминают протезы. С другой – это все же ювелирные изделия, правда, довольно футуристические. Некоторые украшения позволяют вам почувствовать свое превосходство, другие – должны помогать в передвижении.

Muovere le dita, picchiettarle sul tavolo, muovere nervosamente la gamba e il piede, o farlo solo per abitudine. I linguaggi del corpo sono variegati ma la designer statunitense Jennifer Crupi decide di studiarne solo alcuni e di accentuarli, rendendoli dei veri e propri gioielli meccanici, quasi delle protesi per il corpo. Che sia proprio la gestualità il trend di domani?
