Maria Eife

My forms are inspired by structures in both the natural and built worlds, from fabrics to botanical specimens. My work is equally driven by the exploration of the processes and materials I use in the creation of form. I build virtual objects with CAD software that are materialized using a combination of 3D printing technologies and hand craft. The objects may be cast in precious metals, dyed and/or combined with other materials. The end goal is to create elegant, playful and complex adornments that complement the wearer and engage the viewer.
