Creating jewelry is Irene's reward.
She was young when she realized that her
hands would be her tools. Transforming materials, fabric, leather and
clay into something beautiful always thrilled her. She got hooked to metal,
learning from two friends who are metal smiths, later attended jewelry
school, and since then jewelry making became a great and pleasant aspect
of her life.
She is the only maker of everything @ aroluna, needless to
say the bench is what she loves most, and where she does her best to originate
timeless adornments, often rustic and organic, sturdy but smooth, which
will last for many a moon.
Her intention is to create perfectly
wearable jewelry which bends and molds to the body in a comfortable way. She loves asymmetry, circular forms and making pieces that are sensual and
bold, almost with lives of their own… you can feel their subtle weight,
their sound, their touch.
At present Irene is leaning towards wire in its many forms, using simple ancient techniques to achieve original work. She is also having great fun recycling her own material, gathering and
transforming previously unfinished or set aside pieces and parts into
new unique and amusing designs.
