Kate Bajic

This necklace by Kate Bajic demonstrates her affinity for organic form and detail through a layered composition of hand-pierced elements, suggestive of overlapping lichen structures. Each shape carries a softened silhouette that evokes the irregular, flourishing contours of nature. The oxidation of the metal introduces a subtle, iridescent gradient that enhances the illusion of depth and shadow, drawing the viewer closer to the surface of the work.

Strung on a delicate line of freshwater pearls, the dark forms rest against a luminous sequence of pale tones, creating a visual and tactile contrast that echoes the interplay of strength and fragility in the natural world. The work speaks to themes of transformation and resilience, inviting us to reconsider what is often overlooked in nature as a site of quiet complexity.
