Michelle Currie's innovative practice combines traditional Silversmithing techniques with her love of Science and Astronomy, exploring and revealing the beautifully interconnected nature of science and art. Creating one-of-a-kind objects inspired by black holes and gravitational waves, Michelle combines precious stones and metals with ferromagnetic materials containing iron particles, capturing the exciting variety of textures and movement created when exposing iron particles to neodymium magnets. Michelle creates her own mixtures of iron particles that are sculpted directly onto magnetic field lines using the invisible structure as a canvas to capture the explosive moments as static ominous wearable sculptures.
