A recent collaboration with @ellapopekerner
This one definitely had a lot of people doing double takes😆😅

As a part of Ella’s senior capstone for jewelry she asked if I could create a wooden torso to display this beautiful forged silver piece.

The body was modeled by Ella, I did the prep work for it to be rough CNC’d in 2 halves and then final shaping and finishing by hand.

The collection titled “Tender Embrace” serves as a reminder of the importance of touch and human connection. Inspired by the loss from the COVID-19 pandemic, the collection nurtures the feeling of loneliness from touch starvation.
Within this collection of sculptural jewelry, each piece is reminiscent of the human form or silhouette, reminding the wearer of those whom they may or may not still be able to touch and relieve the feeling of solitude. When the pieces are worn, body heat transfers to the jewelry, making the wearer feel a “hug by adorning themselves with the work. This non-traditional “hug” demonstrates to the wearer that human touch is so powerful it can transform something so hard and cold, like metal, to something soft and warm.

About the Artist

Ella Pope Kerner is a jewelry artist from Boston, Massachusetts.
Growing up jumping through the waves along New England’s rocky beaches, she finds joy and inspiration in her curiosity of the world around her. She enjoys asking questions, even the unanswerable ones, of herself and others, as she is driven by a desire to understand.
Ella’s work speaks to and for sentient beings. Throughout her ideation process, Ella challenges the emotional part of herself to create thoughtful works that speak for the human experience. Her designs are deeply conceptual, but aesthetically simple. She finds beauty in large smooth forms with small, sometimes hidden, details that keep the wearer engaged in the work. Ella designs for both the body and the gallery, as she defines her jewelry as
“wearable sculpture”. She builds her work by hand because she is mesmerized by the process and tied to the labor that goes into each handcrafted piece.
When she is not in the studio, Ella enjoys spending time with her family and friends, her dog, reading, swimming and finding cameos for her ever-growing collection.!

Yesterday evening, I visited Fahm Hall to admire the work of graduating seniors. I’m in constant awe of the raw talent here. After hearing their stories and about what inspires them I’m even more captivated. This is just a glimpse. #jewelrydesign #sculpture #accessories #newdesigners #innovativedesign #preciousgems #puregold #youngtalent #scadjewelrydesign #emotionaljewelry
