The El Alba Earrings, featuring a combination of 92 stones by artist Juan Castro, is handmade for e.g.etal’s exhibition Site Specific.
“In this piece I show how my practice, and the juxtaposition of the context of where it is made, is encapsulated by the colours of the Australian sky at sunrise and sunset that are quite unique and inspiring to me. Soft pinks blend with burnt oranges on a mesmerising blue horizon with hints of purple.”
Site Specific, presented as part of Radiant Pavilion Naarm/Melbourne Contemporary Jewellery and Object Biennial, is an exhibition that pays homage to the relationship between the interior and exterior of our being, and the inability to separate oneself from their environment.
Pieces from this collection will be shipped at the conclusion of the exhibition (from 3 October, 2024).
