Cinnamon Lee: Impossible Jewels

Cinnamon Lee is fascinated by the potential of new technologies to augment contemporary craft practice. She is particularly interested in the potential of 3D computer modelling for creating forms that would be very difficult, if not impossible to produce using traditional techniques. Cinnamon's recent work exploits digital processes in order to create intricate structures and patterns through the repetition of simple forms.

Through the combination of traditional gold and silversmithing techniques and computer-driven processes, Cinnamon’s work explores the intersection between technology, the machine and the hand-made.
