Dancing pieces of jewelry
Jewelry and dance. In the middle, drawing, as a bridge that choreographer Sarah Warsop uses to connect the two and capture movement, whether it be in a step or in a ring, communicating it through form and shape.
London-based Sarah Warshop leads a double life, but neither is in the shadow of the other. Her dreams, emotions and vision weave into one another, fueling and feeding off each other.
As a choreographer, Sarah has performed at Tate Britain, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Royal Opera House and worked with artists such as Merce Cunningham, Rambert Dance and Idris Khan.
As a designer she pursues the same field of research undertaken with choreography: to capture movement, in a piece of jewelry as in a graceful pirouette and to try and untangle the complexity of its evolution.
Her jewelry ia made with metallic wires whose strength, flexibility and linearity express the speed, spontaneity and weightlessness of dance.
As Sarah states, the objects she creates are “wearable moments in time”, and her challenge is to continue exploring both dance and design, so as to create a dialogue between the transitory and the solid.
