Metal and flesh

[imomus]

My slot at The Moment this week is filled with the fabulously inventive body jewelry of Berlin-based Japanese designer Naoko Ogawa. This is actually the Moment piece I've been most pleased to write, because Naoko's work is brilliant, but nobody knows.

The idea of the kashi-kiri is absolutely wonderful. But then, I suppose something similar could be said about high heels.

As for the jewelry: I think I'd like it better if these cloth-gathering objets adopted some sort of discernible form, like origami.

they definitely lack something. not really a form i'd say. as much as i like them i can only relate to them as something i would have liked -a lot- in the 90s.
might find them more appealing if they were made of scandium or something.; ( i mean using a highly technical/practical material for pure esthetic purposes might be slightly rad in this day and age)
