Confluencing
Process, shifting, becoming.
Naomi Wanjiku
“This work reimagines ancestral adornment through fine-gauge stainless-steel wire crocheted into tensile, lace-like structures.
What begins as a domestic craft practice becomes sculptural jewelery that balances fragility and strength.”
Tradition Meets Contemporary Craft
Inspired by the artisanal traditions of Gikuyu women in Kenya, this body of crochet wirework transforms ancestral sensibilities into sculptural jewellery. Each piece becomes a vessel of memory and innovation, bridging cultural lineage with contemporary form.
