The flying ribbons by Cindy Chao, high jewelery of extraordinary achievement ♦ ︎
Cindy Chao said out to be a granddaughter of an architect and daughter of a sculptor. With this she wants to point out that her art, her jewelery collections, are not the fruit of any school opened in Taiwan, where she was born. Cindy Chao, on the other hand, has drank from she was child the ability to build, to see total. Her grandfather, for example, designed temples that had to take into account every smaller architectural detail that had a symbolic and aesthetic meaning.
From her father, more, she inherited love for craftsmanship, forging volumes with her own hands. Look at Cindy Chao’s jewels: they must be made by experienced hands, one by one. Like in the Ribbons collection, metal stripes that seem to fly driven by the wind, with rippling surfaces and pavé of stones following the contour. They are the latest creations of Asian artist-designer who well represent his virtuous ability to create. Lavinia Andorno
