Sim Luttin
Sim Luttin – 'Moment(o)s of Fragility: Loss', Necklace, 2023
'Moment(o)s of Fragility: Loss' leans into present overwhelm by finding comfort in the process, embracing the skill, ritual and muscle memory of physically making artwork as much-needed catharsis.
The artwork resonates with universal challenges and personal truths, capturing the sense of overwhelm in life, love, and art. This artwork embodies messiness and tension, with dense elements overlapping, obscuring, and grating against each other.
