Once Upon a Time...

Sally Yu

Summary

Final work

Hi, I'm sally, a graduate of the CSM FAD Jewellery and Accessories pathway. My work is often medium and materials-based, working with mixed media to investigate the contrast between the natural and unnatural world. I enjoy combining unusual textures within the context of adorning the body,  using my personal experience to convey and challenge conventional understanding. My interests also lie with explorations of colour and themes of culture and social norms.

Once Upon a Time...

‘Once Upon a Time’ is a project that aims to explore the connection between community, culture, and narratives through the use of legends and folklore.​

Exploring the evolution of stories, I further used inspiration from traditional Asian hairpins to investigate a darker depiction of the spider in contrast to opposing presentations in other traditions. ​

Based on the Japanese stories of the Jorogumo, this piece, made with Brass and cotton thread, was designed using ideas surrounding the seductive and manipulative nature of the creature, serving as a decoration that keeps count of victims, using the beads to symbolize each of the humans woven into its trap.
