AIVA艺术家驻地项目 | 2019 Maria Ignacia Walker

Maria Ignacia Walker

 

来自智利的当代首饰艺术家。

曾就读于Alchimia当代首饰学院，

之后在意大利佛罗伦萨旅居多年。

她用身体作为媒介来发展自己的首饰艺术，

并将护身符、装置和表演融入其中，

使其形式更加丰富，情感更加饱满。

 

María Ignacia Walker obtained her first degree in Art Direction at Universidad del Desarrollo, Chile, 2007. In October 2015 she graduated from an MFA in Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School, Florence. She is based in Florence, Italy where she works as independent artist.

In 2018 she was welcomed into Khio, Oslo National Academy of Art in Oslo, Norway for a special artist in residency programme.

While working on her personal projects Maria likes to share her knowledge by giving lectures and workshops. She has taught in Florence, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Santiago de Chile.

Her artistic realization finds its shape in Wearable Art. She is obsessed with the human body, its changes over time, bodily losses and renewal. Her work is the result of a dialogue with her body, created from the interaction with objects, amulets, installations and performances.

100 Ring – Portraits

 

100 Ring – Portraits

来自Maria的艺术调研：

艺术家在过去十年间四处游历，

以此获得源源不断的灵感。

她不断地观察和发现周围的世界，

许多细节在记忆中不断延伸。

随后创作出了100个肖像戒指，

那是刻在她记忆深处的100个不同的人的面庞。

每一个戒指都是先由艺术家亲手用蜡雕刻

再用银和铜的合金铸造而成，

以此来获得令人意想不到的氧化效果。

艺术家将他们做成戒指，

以此来凝结记忆，

使之成为永恒。

 

100 Ring – Portraits

An experimental research by Maria Ignacia Walker：

“ The constant movement, without pauses or detentions is what has driven me these last ten years. I live spinning around the world to observe, and it is in the details where I have been able to discover hundreds of faces and gestures of different individuals that are engraved in my memory.

Breeds, shapes, colors, angles and features are the particularities that have inspired me to create a contemporary jewellery installation composed of ‘100 rings-portraits’.

With this work I intend to immortalize and freeze in my memory, factions and faces of different people who have been intertwining and mixing in my photographic memory. Facial features of various people who have cast, have created 100 new faces.

I want to keep these gestures forever and never lose them, that's why I chose to work with wax, a material that allows me to intuitively recreate these portraits, then melt them and create a final piece in metal that will remain forever. The final result of the work is in the Shibuichi alloy, a fusion of copper and silver that has an infinite range of random and almost uncontrollable colors. ”
