International Jeweller


Silvia WeidenBach

International Jeweller Silvia WeidenBach is a designer that experiments with 3D printing as a means of expressing her creativity, by coming up with new and innovative works. WeidenBach’s collection titles “RorschachBurst”, is an exploration of colourful and complex shapes, it is her evolution of her artistic search in the field of object and adornment and exploring these through new media. It challenges existing notions of how things should look and function, taking advantage of the freedom from constraint and convention in so doing. The complexity that characterises many works produced via digital production methods is also evident in the detailed rich surface textures and patterns. This piece is also reminiscent of the pixellation noted by Birdle (Birdle 2011) as being the epitome of the “new aesthetic” which serves to reinforce its status as an “Eruption of the digital” into the physical world (Birdle 2011).
