JOURNEY by Kerry Thompson
A significant, large-scale pendant, hand-carved from a single piece of Siberian jade, by renowned New Zealand artist Kerry Thompson.
Stone: Expertly worked Siberian jade, characterised by a soft, celadon-green base with subtle, natural specks of darker chlorite.
Design & Craftsmanship: This bold, sculptural form demonstrates Kerry's mastery in utilising the stone's natural volume. The front face features a clean, traditionally-inspired profile, rendered with serene precision. The reverse reveals a minimalist, subtle suggestion of facial features, creating a dynamic and engaging bi-frontal composition. Flowing from this form, a continuous ribbon of curves - a "path of life" - is drawn from the body of the stone. This elegantly symbolises life's continual movement: challenges mastered, relationships developed and grown.
The matte-polish finish interacts with light to continuously alter the piece's visual weight and focus.
Artistic Value: An intricate and significant work from a leading contemporary jade artist, showcasing exceptional technical skill in an unforgiving medium. A definitive, collectible piece of wearable jade art.
Presentation: Supplied with an adjustable 4-Plait Khaki Green cord. Custom cord colour requests can be noted at checkout.
