handmade lapis lazuli, japanese viscose thread, silver 925
THESE UNIQUE TERRA AVVOLTA PIECES IN LAPIS LAZULI REPRESENT THE ENDLESS POTENTIAL OF THE VOID. BLUE IS THE COLOUR OF DREAMS BECAUSE THE PIGMENT DOESN'T OCCUR IN NATURE, BUT AS AN ILLUSION OF LIGHT. ULTRAMARINE WAS ORIGINALLY MADE BY GRINDING LAPIS LAZULI INTO A POWDER AND DURING RENAISSANCE IT WAS THE FINEST BLUE THAT COULD BE USED BY PAINTERS. YVES KLEIN, QUOTING BACHELARD, SAID: "FIRST THERE IS NOTHING, THEN THERE IS A DEEP NOTHING, THEN THERE IS A BLUE DEPTH."
