For all you lovely ladies, sick of the banal, the precious stones and metals, Yuni Kim Lang creates a unique collection of jewellery, inspired by the Chinese Button Knot, characterised by simplicity and style.
Yuni, the Michigan-based artist, let herself inspired by the ordinary. The common, ubiquitous things. This reminds me of that famous Picasso quote: “inspiration exists but it has to find you working”. She achieved from black polypropylene rope fantastic decorative knots, stunning black “sculptures”, that can be worn as accessories. The cool thing is that you can wear the knots with any casual outfit. The intriguing and surprising accessories look a little bit odd, but that makes them even more appealing.
Definitely, with a little bit of imagination, one can do great things. The wearable art created by Yuni Kim Lang is made of materials that transcend their materiality, empowering the person who wears it.
