Assemblage work inspired by African tribes’ jewelry made out of found objects.
Please note that artwork does not come with wooden head.
From the artist –
“Assemblage is an artistic composition made from found objects, scraps, junk, and odds (such as paper, cloth, wood, stone, metal, etc). It is similar to collage, but in 3D medium. I get inspired by the feathers I picked up in the park, vintage metal pieces from antique markets, beer bottle caps that are no longer used after opening the bottles. Creative idea can be found in the rubbish or found odds in the street. Each assemblage piece is made as one-off piece.
African tribes create jewellery out of found objects such as beer bottle caps in the street. The tribe’s impressive approach to their original fashion is closely related to their environments.”
