British artist Nora Fok makes the most amazing sculptured nylon art jewelry out of very thin strands of microfilaments. These are difficult to work with and yet she manages to knit and knot the strands into beautiful botanical-inspired jewelry.
Nora Fok's Nylon Botanicus collection celebrates flowers and even vegetables. Her inspiration comes not only from garden flowers but also wildflowers. Her interest in science and also her attention to detail both helped in creating her sculptured nylon art jewelry.
A retrospective exhibition of her work will be shown at the Harley Gallery in the UK from January 22 to March 2011.
