Squares

In this little series of ear studs, the goal was to create a number of different relief patterns from square silver sheets by folding alone. Thereby, apart from the folds, the squares had to remain intact, i.e. they were not allowed to be cut open.

Using thin square sheets of silver, I tried to produce various relief structures by folding alone. First, I applied two different textile imprint patterns to the silver sheets. Then they were then grooved on their backsides and carefully folded along the grooves. This resulted in little reliefs with facets of variable brightness, depending on the angle of observation and illumination.
