CONTAINER in COLORS, necklace

Creator: Martacarmela Sotelo
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
We are excited to present the brand new collection of jewellery by Martacarmela Sotelo. Each necklace is handmade and one-of-a-kind. There are currently 6 pieces available that were created by the artist in autumn 2020. The steel wire is powder-coated. This body of work is called Containers. Artist statement:
“We all have something to keep, sometimes we hold it within something, it occupies a space, it is kept inside and out of limits. Sometimes it is within us. It is a special something, to be held and contained. These necklaces are composed of a series of Containers, each holding together one vessel after another.”
"My passion for all art and design disciplines is in wearable art. For me, a jewellery piece is an invitation for reflexion. I like when my pieces activate the memories of the users, personal as well as collectively and when the pieces can tell a story.”

Sotelo studied architecture at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and continued with an MA in Fine Arts at London at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. She was part of the incubator studio program sponsored by the Arts Council of England. Back in Mexico, she was awarded the “Jovenes Creadores” scholarship by FONCA. She was selected for “Artemergente”, National Biennale in Monterrey, Mexico.
