Ulrich Sára studied graphic design at MOME, Budapest, and has worked with narration in the more literary sense - in the field of illustration, book design and storytelling. She studied jewellery making in Szimultán Art School and Budai Art School. Since taking up learning metal-smithing and jewellery, she forced her all-too-digital 2D visions into 3D formats, into materials. She is fascinated by the intersection points of traditional print making techniques and metal works. Because, surprisingly, there are some.
THE COLLECTION
The Cages Project
The Rationality Cages project builds on the simple realisation that every aspect of life holds a contradiction: the understandable desire for total control and the acceptance of losing it. Rationality seems comforting, and control gained by intentions feels powerful, masterful. Even objective. But this mania for control also amputates some of the wittiness, some of soulfulness. Spontaneity is not an option. It’s a must. The layer of metal settings of the project are mathematically designed pictures folded into a sort of cage and they contain different amounts of a material that is more poetic with ghost-like softness. Paper. It’s fragile, it’s reacting and soon it will disappear. Then the wearer might include a new gesture in the frame. The cages are pictures to be worn on the body.
