Lava Cuff
Liliane Lijn Lava Cuff, 2024 Electroformed gold-plated cuff 7 x 2.5 cm Edition of 3 plus 2 AP Initialed and dated Make it Yours ♥ Lava Cuff, 2024: The Lava Cuff is an electroformed, gold-plated cuff available in an edition of 3, with 2 artist’s proofs. This piece draws inspiration from the flowing textures of lava, creating a tactile and powerful statement that wraps around the wrist like molten rock. Lijn’s artistic approach is deeply rooted in natural forms and elements, drawing inspiration from raw materials—volcanic magma, meteorites, clods of earth, and lunar rocks. These forces are translated into wearable sculptures, crafted from pure electroformed silver in Italy, embodying an organic, almost primordial aesthetic. Each piece reflects humanity’s connection with nature and the cosmos, serving as conceptual explorations of our relationship with the planet. Lijn presents a mesmerising new collection of pendants, and a cuff inspired by the ancient landscapes of Pompeii and the movement of lava. The collection explores fluidity, nature, and the powerful bond between humanity and the natural world. Her visit to Vesuvius and Pompeii ignited a creative vision. “These pieces evoke volcanic or lunar landscapes and even our inner selves. They combine ancient luxury with raw […]

A seemingly rigid form now made flexible. To mend a broken bone that has been shattered in several places, pins are put in place to hold it together, to allow it to heal. This work looks at how so many of the western ideals of democracy have been shattered, bent and broken. It is time to rebuild, mend and heal. Akin to the art of Kintsugi, a Japanese technique of mending fragmented ceramics with gold and urushi lacquer (which I learnt about whilst on a research fellowship in Japan), the fragments of this broken column are held together with gold. This column in particular is Ionic. Ionic columns were sturdy, detailed and ornate, serving both as a work of art and a supportive structure. The Greek architect Vitruvius suggests that Ionic design was brought about by elements of the […]
