| DESIGN NAME: The Quadrivium PRIMARY FUNCTION: Kinetic Jewelry INSPIRATION: Thung Kwao Subdistrict, Phrae Province, Thailand There is an important temple, Wat Chom Sawan. It is an outstanding architecture in the art of Myanmar. It is an old temple built with Bagan art. There are beautiful and valuable artifacts and antiques. Hall of Worship and Monk in the same building The building is built entirely of teak wood. There is a large and small roof cascading into a total of 9 floors. The wall is divided into sections similar to cane. The interior shows the craftsmanship of exquisite decoration. The pillars and ceiling are decorated with beautiful stained glass. There are stairs up and down in front of 2 sides decorated with brass. Hit and punch to make a Burmese pattern. The wooden pillars in the church building are lacquered with gold. decorated with gold-colored patterns with text in Burmese There are 35 inscriptions around the pillars, and 14 other pillars are lacquered with gold and decorated with stained glass. The chedi has a Burmese shape, which is a large chedi in the middle, surrounded by small chedi on all 4 sides, 3 on each side, and has a golden Kwao flower (Bastard teak) as the flower of Thung Kwao Subdistrict. The designer has brought Wat Chom Sawan, which is the identity of the district, combined with a minimalist design, resulting in a jewelry design that can convey the identity of the temple through geometric shapes that convey. The roof of the temple combines movements with glass-ceramic inside, resulting in a playful and interesting ornament that can be reshaped UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Inspired by deconstruction and kinetic method. The concept of this jewelry is about using idea and technique of changing the original configuration, rotating the axis or changing a position of the structure. It is challenging as well as breaks the rule of conventional perception. This jewelry has been designed by the kinetic system, to be able to move and adjust into multiple shape or formation that significantly different from each other. The imitation jewelry glass-ceramic materials were obtained from recycling waste gemstones. Base on the sintering glass ceramics technique using metal powder as coloring agent to develop jewelry applications. The substantial viscous flow of the glass led to dense products for rapid treatments at relatively low temperatures (950 celsius), whereas glass/metal powder interactions resulted in the formation of color agent crystals, providing enhancement optical properties. Metallic powder peculiarity is the appearance of a colored metallic shine. There is a great potential for such materials with novel functionalities for artificial gemstone application. The preliminary glass ceramics tests were assessed by both physical and optical properties. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The pendant can transform into many shapes that make it suitable in many situations. The wearer can change the shape of the pendant by pushing and pulling the pendant. Moreover, the pendant could be present as a mini sculpture that and uses for decoration. The imitation jewelry glass-ceramic materials were obtained from recycling waste gemstones. which is a recycle material that could reduce the waste in jewelry-making production. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2020 in Bangkok Thailand and finished in April 2021, and was exhibited around Bangkok in 2021. The project has been developed from many of my kinetic jewelry projects from 2012-2021. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Designed by a 3D program with high accuracy. About the prototype printed by 3D printer machine (Rapid prototype) at the micron level of accuracy, which allows the sophisticated parts and design. Every part is completely fit together, and could make a fluid movement. The Mechanical and joints that have been developed from the traditional jewelry making could make a difference in assembling process. The new joint and small part can be assembly together without using welding. This unique technic reduced the heating and save more energy from welding process, which is more friendly to the environment. The imitation jewelry glass ceramic materials were obtained from recycling waste gemstones. Base on the sintering glass ceramics technique using metal powder as coloring agent to develop jewelry applications. The substantial viscous flow of the glass led to dense products for rapid treatments at relatively low temperatures (950 celsius), whereas glass/metal powder interactions resulted in the formation of color agent crystals, providing enhancement optical properties. Metallic powder peculiarity is the appearance of a colored metallic shine. There is a great potential for such materials with novel functionalities for artificial gemstone application. The preliminary glass ceramics tests were assessed by both physical and optical properties. The effects of nitrogen plasma have markedly improved surface hardness, anti-tarnish and corrosion resistance of the silver casting jewelry samples. By measuring the change in the color of the corrosive samples using a spectrophotometer. The improved corrosion resistance was believed to stem from the rapid formation of a more protective film containing nitrogen nitride in salt Sulphur and air environment. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Dimension: Width 20 mm x Depth 20 mm x Height 20 mm Weight: 5 grams Material: Silver, Glass ceramic TAGS: jewelry, kinetic, kinetic jewelry, Phrae Province, Thailand, Glass ceramic, Nitrogen plasma RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Kinetic and interaction are significant. Firstly, according to many research indicate that human eyes and attention have been developed to be attracted by a moving object. For example, we are always attracted by moving people or object compare with nonmoving objects. Secondly, physical interaction is a part of human life. For example, we always use our hands to interact with something. For these reasons, I decided to combine Movement and interaction methods together in my jewelry to create a unique experience between the wearer and the jewelry. CHALLENGE: In order to create kinetic jewelry, I need to be completely understood in many kinetic aspects such as animal action and machine movable systems. I also need to transfer such a significant small piece of mechanism into my jewelry. In my point of view, my jewelry is an art piece that people could engage or play with it. for this reason, the wearer will feel completely connect with my jewelry.
