Anastasia Azure:
By interlacing textiles with jewelry metal arts, I combine an ancient cloth-making technique with contemporary materials to create dimensional weave jewelry. The gracefulness of supple curves and the beauty of geometry are expressed through undulating forms of metal and monofilament.

My artwork revolves around the seamless continuity of a circle. The universal circle offers protection and perfection, while representing oneness and dynamic balance.

Weaving embodies rhythm and order. My jewelry is hand-woven using a traditional floor. The dimensional-weave technique is an arduous and complex weave structure in which two sets of warps interlace with two sets of wefts, simultaneously producing two distinct layers.

The myriad combinations of interlocking strands and intersecting planes drive my exploration of form. The durability and strength of metal paired with the luminosity and flexibility of monofilament come together as multilayered woven adornment.
