About:
Coming form a background in painting, Matilda Little first approached jewellery as a way to bring the characters and forms from her paintings into the three dimensional world. Fascinated by the interplay between objects and the figurative. The role that jewellery plays became integral; as a sight to question materiality on the body. Having a brief stint of taking on an internship at a Fin-Tech company just after graduating from art school, gave her an insight into future ways of viewing value. Making everything by hand from her studio in South London, her work hopes to grapple with the physicality of the objects made and the immaterial ideas behind them.
The Hyper-Linked collection explores our relationship with value. The contrast between tangible and physical values we place upon materials in our world, stirring a sense unease consequent to the increasing prominence of immaterial value in digital capitalism. Questioning the idea of ‘preciousness’ by combining valued materials like precious stones with worthless pieces of gravel and the raw textures of metal once pulled from the ground. The pieces come together as clusters of material linked to one another, a language of linking and fixing value, similar to that of blockchain currencies.
