About Rosina Payan Pecorelli
Rosina is inspired by the lines and forms she sees in elements of architecture, aiming to distil what she absorbs from her surroundings. Rosina's practice is informed by exploring the shapes that come from the places she is inspired by. She enjoys the process of finding repeating forms in the urban landscape and interpreting these through both worn and object pieces.
Inspired by modern and brutalist architecture especially a buildings’ gradual absorption into nature once abandoned, the neat-ness of these structural forms contrasted with their weathery decay encapsulates her own feelings of change, and the finding of beauty in this process.
Rosina likes the idea of exploring materials that play with the traditional ideas of jewellery. Finding rusty steel, torn card or a chunk of concrete equally as exciting as silver, allowing scope to explore different surfaces and colours.
Rosina created a collection of Bio resin and steel brooches that are made from mild steel forms with an oil quenched surface. Each piece is unique and can be worn across the body in multiple different ways. The resin back has embedded magnets with a matt surface designed to reflect the colours and patterns of the steel surface. The two parts of the brooch can be worn in multiple different ways, with one element poking from beneath the clothing of the wearer to reflect the shadow of the steel sculptural piece.
