The aim of the thesis is to use plant prints applied with pigments on glass. In doing so, I will focus on finding suitable pigments for transferring prints to glass and investigating the effects of overlapping motifs between layers of depictions on glass. I will use the collected finds in the design and in making of glass jewelry, which will be the central subject of my thesis.
The inspiration for the content of the thesis are boundarys and how I understand its concept. An example of a non-material, but permanent boundary that unites and at the same time ends, is time. As an invisible border between generations of people. It becomes visible during the inheritance process, which has become part of human habits and part of the law. For this purpose, jewelry is often inherited. In more detail I focused on amber jewelry. It often contains the remains of a once living organism. It represents captured time, limited within a translucent resin. The thesis product is made of glass. It contains prints of collected plants that resemble pieces of the past in amber. They are applied with the help of pigments. The prints overlap each other, as the present overlaps with the prints of the past. Glass is bound with metal into wearable jewelry. The final product will be able to be inherited and follow the process of time.
