About Emelie Westerlund
A cord fitting into a groove, a sphere slotting into a perfectly shaped hole. Two materials sliding together through the pull of a magnet, rubber giving way to the force of your finger... nice.
I’m interested the tactile qualities of forms and materials and the experience we get when handling them. Why is an action nice to perform? Can I extract the niceness and install it in my jewellery?
Size, weight, texture and temperature are my primary focus, visual aesthetic a bi-product. Magnetic clasps, brooches that click and fidget friendly rings - jewellery that focuses on the point of interaction with the wearer - jewellery that is fun and nice to use. Jewellery that might not be useful, but very nice to use.
