Coming and Going — Marie-Eve G. Castonguay

Playing with forms and function in order to generate motion, I aim to create an intimate relationship between the pieces and the movements of the body. The wearer or holder participates in engaging or inhibiting movement within each piece and plays an active role in making the object reach its full potential. This kinetic potential, which is not necessarily obvious when simply viewing the piece, becomes a secret for the wearer as he is the only one who gets to interact physically with the object. A full spectacle of colour, texture and sound, the piece itself becomes not only jewellery, not only a toy, but also a meditative object.
