About the artwork.
When she creates her jewelry, Jee Hye Kwon, draws her inspiration from organic forms in the natural world and in architecture. Kwon enjoys representing the small details of buildings, such as reinforcing rods and the wooden beams that create the ‘skeleton’ of the house. She exemplifies these elements through multiple gauges of wire and sheets of metal, as seen in Brooch.
