Moonscape from the Concrete Rocks! collection by Marie Therese Wolf
2020

Cement, industrial brass tubes, pearls, galena, gold leaf

Marie was born and raised in Vienna, Austria. She moved to Tokyo in her late teens to study Japanese and continued her studies in England where she received Masters degrees in Interactive Design and Business Administration. An exposure to many different cultures is evident in Marie’s approach to design where she distills these influences into her pieces. The urban nature of concrete has always appealed to the artist. The ‘moonscape’ is made from brass, concrete, pearl, gold and galena. This composition juxtaposes natural elements such as sand, galena and brass with water – the pearl. In this ring-pendant, the shape of the pearls strongly evokes the mood of the moon; cement forming a bulge around the pearl, like a protective wall. The result is a moonscape-like visual. The use of the piece is left to the wearer. It can be put onto a chain or cord and worn around the neck or worn on a finger. It can be taken along as a talisman on a first date or placed onto your dining room table.
