Brutalism as an aesthetic places an emphasis on the very foundations of the world around us. Whether it be materials, construction, or texture – Brutalism strips back the layers, calling into question what it is that builds up our society. Elizabeth Hooper’s latest collection draws inspiration from this, offering up a dazzling display of rough surfaces, an exploration of the plasticity of metal, and experiments with scale.
Perfectly imperfect, and done but undone – this new collection has an unfinished quality, exposing the bare bones of the creative process. Rather than bringing us a refined, ‘finished’ collection, Elizabeth Hooper plays with ideas that transcend the traditional jewellry game. Drawing from a wealth of artistic references – from planets, to rocks, to cells – the collection results in a range of pieces that are wearable art. Toeing the line between simple and complex, flexible and durable, and raw and refined – this new collection is delightfully subversive.
Pairing together gold and silver, which has previously been considered a fashion faux-pas, it’s this unconventional edge that sets Elizabeth Hooper’s new collection apart from the rest. Structural, experimental, and unique – nobody’s doing it like them!
