This digital fabrication piece photographed by Theresa Burger not only fascinates me because of its detail and interesting form, but on a broader scale, I really like how the digital fabrication is used as a piece of jewelry and accessory. I think that creating something with the purpose of it being worn and displayed, especially something that is 3D printed, is difficult because the artifact exists for many purposes and is functional, which I admire because of my interests in product design. Like any piece of art, these earrings are stylized and it is clear that the artist has a certain aesthetic. The use of color is very minimal and the form is repetitive in nature which speaks to the artists’ taste for simplicity and minimalism. I think that these earrings follow the rules of a parametric object in that values of a variable are changed and produce a generative design.
