Jeweller Willem Heyneker will unveil his startling new work, Tingles down my spine, on Wednesday July 8 at Behind the Monkey, Highgate
The eye-catching, torso length piece has been painstakingly created from the found skeletal remains of Emu and Kangaroo, which have been silver plated then interspersed with Red Coral and copper wire. Heyneker has threaded the design with neoprene so the piece retains the flexibility of a spine.
“For me, this piece represents both the good and bad experiences that life can throw at you,” says Heyneker.
“Sometimes the experiences are so profound that they create heightened feelings that are manifested physically, and this is what Tingles down my spine is all about .”
Tingles down my spine will open at Behind the Monkey, 479 Beaufort Street Highgate, at 6pm on Wednesday July 8 and close on Sunday July 26. Additional fine jewellery works by Heyneker will also be on display.
Tingles Down My Spine is proudly supported by Franc Essential, Leaping Lizard, Telos Brand, Supreme Printers and Behind the Monkey.
