ECHO Brooch
ECHO Brooch｜Small paintings created with cloisonné
Wearing Paintings
Facing a single painting in the quiet space of an art museum. To experience the resonance and lingering effects of color not just as a moment in that place, but closer, more physically. The ECHO brooch series was born from such thoughts.
Painting with Cloisonné
Cloisonné is a traditional Japanese craft that fuses glass-like glaze onto metal. The ECHO brooch combines this cloisonné technique with collage and dripping that would normally belong to the world of painting, creating cloisonné jewelry finished one piece at a time by hand in a Tokyo atelier.
The layers of glaze create depth, and the accidental mixing of colors produces delicate textures. The luster born from receiving light. Each piece has a different expression, taking the form of small paintings to wear.
Touching Brushstrokes
ECHO's distinctive feature lies not only in color, but in the slight thickness created through repeated firing. Just as brushstrokes remain on canvas, the layers of glaze also remain as form. Small textures felt by fingertips, luster that changes with the angle of light. Three pieces of different colors and shapes nestle together, and we named it ECHO as their resonance gently overlaps.
