American Rachael Victoria Adams creates vintage jewelry under the Nouveau Motley brand. "Nouveau" is new, unfamiliar, "Motley" is made up of different elements. Well, this is a completely correct and eloquent name, because in his works the author seeks to combine love for antiques and modern trends in art.
Among the vintage accessories of Rachel Victoria Adams, works from the “Kafka Clocks” series look especially unusual and unique. They represent watch cases (both new and antique), inside of which the viewer can see a composition of parts of clock mechanisms and dried insects - the creations of the hands of man and nature. Depending on the design features, “Kafka Clocks” can be used as bracelets, pendants, necklaces or belt buckles.
“Kafka Clocks was inspired by biomechanics, the work of Joseph Cornell, the literature of Franz Kafka, and the aesthetics of the modern movement known as steampunk,” says the author. The creation of such jewelry is a laborious process that usually takes more than one week. Rachel dries insects on her own and performs a number of special procedures on them to ensure their better safety.
Rachel Victoria Adams lives in California (USA). She describes herself as an “eternal student with many interests,” as Rachel has formal education in photography, drawing, sculpture, metalworking, anthropology and art history. Arts and crafts, according to the author, have always been her passion, so she is constantly exploring and mastering new technologies.
