Doris Betz
As a symbol of collaboration between chinese culture and western culture I´ve choosen clouds. Clouds move freely around the world. I made a research how chinese calligraphy represents clouds, and I took some examples as a design for my cloud-brooches. Next, I rolled silver wire through the mill, and then hammered it. This creates a surface that is both flat and textured. I used this textured wire to replicate the outer lines of the drawings. The brooches have a conciously large scale, so that it is a bit a challenge to wear them! I called them day-dreamer.
作为中国文化和西方文化合作的象征，我选择了云。
云在世界范围内自由移动。
我研究了中国书法如何表现云，并从中汲取创作灵感。
接着，我碾磨、捶打银线，创造一个既平整又有质感的表面。 我用这种有质感的金属丝来重现我的草图。
胸针的尺度相当大，可能在佩戴上造成一些难度！
我把它们叫做白日梦者。
