in search for the potential beauty of a surface, german artist thanh-truc nguyen uses fine-meshed steel fabric to create voluminous yet lightweight jewellery objects. the steel fabric is intriguingly ephemeral and translucent, yet at the same time surprisingly solid. through the interference of the fine grid structures an interesting moiré effect arises. a fascinating flickering and sparkling creates an impression of a gleaming and precious stone, as if it wouldn’t be merely steel.
