This coming Saturday is the Ballard Art Walk and VAIN Ballard will be featuring the jewelry collection of Zerosept, the work is a mix of natural wooden elements that have been shaped into delicate industrial shapes. Audrey Lou of ZeroSept was born in France in a very industrial town, she settled in Seattle and fell in love with the Great Northwest natural beauty. She is an industrial designer by profession, but has her knowledge and creativity into a more emotional, down to earth and feminine adventure.
Her recipe to creating her jewelry is a mix of natural and industrial steps. She creates pieces from noble and unpredictable material: exotic wood. Audrey then creates contrast and modernity by drawing geometric shapes which will randomly fall onto the ever changing wood patterns. She utilizes laser cutting technology to create some precision as well as an industrial twist to her work.
The finishing touches are put together by adding silver and metal components to compliment the stunning raw beauty of the wood and all of the magic (assembly) happens by hand. It is truly evident that each piece that she creates is a result of her passion for proportions, natural beauty, and precision.
Rain or shine– we hope you will join us this upcoming Saturday (October 8th) from 6-9pm for art, drinks, and food. VAIN Ballard: 5401 Ballard Ave NW
