Metal is a forever substance, a precious commodity. When you wear metal you're asking the piece to last- not just to be worn once and discarded like so much refuse and mass productive flotsam- but to really be there, accentuating, defining, identifying. Something you place on yourself as a signature. You must love it if you're to accept the piece as a symbol of your soul.
Does it speak to you? What does it say?
When you take metal and shape it, giving it meaning and moment and space to occupy, do you change something more than its shape? And, if you pair it with other materials, what do they then mean, and do they ascribe other connotations to the metal itself?
Danielle Kathleen explores the dichotomy of shape and materials, of the beauty of the product to the raw strength and durability of the material. Contrast and refined, organic shapes, coupled with tension and balance define the Danielle Kathleen aesthetic.
