Magdalena Maślerz a Polish artist from Kraków specializes in collecting animal bones.
She finds them in the forests and mountains but she also receives them from friends that know about her interests.
After the time-consuming process of cleaning and cutting the material Maślerz uttilises it to create jewelry.
During her stay as artist in residence at Plattform Schmuckkunst, located at Atelier Schmuckes, she works on jewelry and objects using wild boar and roe deer teeth, shells, horns, cow bones but
also some stones like onyx, agate, amber and blue sunstone.
She combines these materials with sterling silver making mostly brooches, pendants and rings.
However, among her works you will also find sunglasses, hair clips, lockets and some intriguing objects to play with.
Maślerz takes her inspiration from the achievements of mankind and combines it with materials found in nature, resulting in rather geometrical forms and offering hidden mechanisms within the
objects.
Her works are giving special tactile experience and are often fun to play with, as their interesting shapes and structures make it difficult to resist the urge to touch them.
