FROM THE FUTURE, WITH LOVE.
By Lígia Gonçalves
THEDRAFTMAG / #05 / FREE / PEDRO MATOS
If you have ever wondered how the future will look like, we can now give you a small glimpse. The answer is in the book Future Fashion, Innovative Materials and Technology, by Macarena San Martin (ed. Mao Mao Publications, 2010). And the portuguese jewelry designer Valentim Quaresma is in it, both the book and the future. His collection Work in Progress, combining organic and mechanic, past and future, guaranteed him a reserved seat, alongside names such as Maison Martin Margiela, Sandra Backlund or Jum Nakao. An honor that the portuguese artist says it was “prestigious”. For his own future Valentim wants to keep “focusing on internationalization and, of course, in the exploitation of new materials”. Not being an unknow name, nor in Portugal, and neither in the rest of the word, it seems safe to say that Valentim Quaresma’s future is looking all bright and smiling.

INTERVIEW WITH
OLGA NORONHA
‘Conflict: Rejection/Attraction’ Photography by Daniel Pires www.danielpires.co.uk MUA: Rose Hellewell Model: Stina @ MandP Models
WHAT IF SOMEONE COMBINED THE MEDICAL-SURGICAL UNIVERSE WITH JEWELRY? WHAT IF SOMEONE RE-INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF THE BODY ITSELF? WELL, SOMEONE DID IT. OLGA NORONHA, A 21 YEAR OLD PORTUGUESE JEWELRY DESIGNER LIVING IN LONDON, HAS PUT IN THE SAME EQUATION, GOLD, PROSTHESIS, ANTIQUE NEEDLES AND DIAMONDS. THE RESULT? PERFECT HARMONY, AND, IN AN ABSOLUT NEW CONCEPT, THE PROOF THAT AN OLD SAYING IS AFTER ALL TRUE: OPPOSITES DO ATTRACT. HER COLLECTION CONFLICT: REJECTION/ATRACTION, WILL MAKE YOU WANNA PLAY DOCTORPATIENT AGAIN. BUT, FOR ONCE, EVERYBODY WILL WANT TO BE THE PATIENT. suture needle earByReverdin Lígia Gonçalves
When I get asked the question “How did you end up in the jewellery field?” or even “From where did your passion for jewellery came?” I always start thinking and re-thinking, trying to find a proper answer, and I just get to the conclusion that there isn’t really a lot to say about my past. There is no history of jewellers, or even artists, in my family and, until I “imposed” my will of becoming a jewellery designer, my parents, both doctors, were always trying to get me to go to a certain path, where they thought I would have a guaranteed wealthy future. But I guess everything started with beads when I was around six or seven years old, just like almost all the girls of that age, until the day I was given by a neighbour a very nice hand made wood box, full of compartments and some pliers. After that I started asking my mother to buy me some wires and thus I began manipulating them, along with gems and other materials, therefore creating my first jewellery pieces, which I now call the “PreHistoric” jewels. Some of them were even recently published in the book 1000 Jewelry Inspirations, by Sandra Salamony (ed. Lark Books, USA, 2008). Then in 2001 I began attending a part time jewellery school, at my city Oporto (north of Portugal), named Engenho & Arte. I stood there until 2007 learning most of the traditional and contemporary jewellery techniques. In September 2007 I moved to the UK, firstly attending to the Foundation Course in Art and Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, moving then to the BA Hons Jewellery Design, at the same college, from where I have recently graduated. Now I’m currently developing Nina my investigation project at Goldsmiths Black lace Dress : Irene Luft / College, in the MRes in Design.

FIRST OF ALL TELL US HOW IT ALL BEGAN, YOUR INTEREST FOR DESIGN, FOR JEWELLERY?
for achieving the piece in question. WHAT MOST PASSIONATES YOU IN YOUR WORK? I think that being able to stand for my ideas. After all It does take a great amount of passion for what you do to properly convince people that your ideas “have feet to go on”. WHO IS OLGA NORONHA? AND HOW CAN WE SEE YOU IN YOUR WORK? “Who runs for pleasure never gets tired”. My big secret is to never be satisfied with myself, so I always want to be bigger and better. NOW SPEAKING IN PARTICULAR OF YOUR LATEST COLLECTION CONFLICT: REJECTION/ ATRACTION:
Elbow restriction piece
me to go to jewellery school for weeks. I suffered so much in that period that I just felt I could not live without it! WHICH WAS THE VERY FIRST PIECE YOU DESIGNED?
THEDRAFTMAG / #05 / FREE / OLGA NORONHA
surgical box I
Apart from the “ PreHistoric” pieces, I think it was a very big three fingers ring, in silver, when I was 11 years old. EXPLAIN US HOW DOES YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS WORKS? With permanent ideas, a small Moleskine and a Muji 0.38mm black ink pen always in my handbag, and with a voice recorder always on my bedside table (for those ideas that wake me up in the middle of the night). Then after deciding the final concept and design, I either jump onto my small workshop and make the piece, or research about the most suitable methods
HOW DID THIS IDEA OF EXPLORING THIS MEDICAL-SURGICAL UNIVERSE CAME UP? AFTER ALL IT’S A BRAND NEW CONCEPT! Both my parents are orthopedic surgeons and even though I decided to follow an artistic career, I have always been in touch with medical and surgical matters. About one year ago I started properly observing the surgical gadgets and techniques, wondering about how to connect such distinctive subjects. WHAT IMAGES DID YOU HAD IN YOUR
MOOD BOARD? Photos of the series http://www.inesdorey. com/index.php?/projectos/surgery-block-bloco-operatorio/”surgery block/bloco operatório by Inês D’Orey; Images of surgical material : bone screws, syringes, etc.; X-Rays; pictures of silicon implants and body modification subdermal implants; and images of details of both female and male bodies. TELL US ABOUT THE CONCEPT, THIS DICHOTOMY BETWEEN REJECTION AND ATTRACTION. THE LINK BETWEEN ANATOMY AND JEWELRY IT IS ALSO APPARENTLY ANTAGONISTIC. HOW DO YOU FACE THESE DICHOTOMIES? AND WHAT IT IS THEIR MEANING? This collection was about picking contrasting subjects and joining them in ways that would not be easy to imagine. It was about assuming the body as an object of re-design. My ongoing conceptual goal is focused on the analysis or physicallity and intellectuallity, and thei manipulation,
by exploring the merger of anatomy and medicine with the creation of “jewelobjects” that are intimately related to the human body. So, in this collection, I used actual surgery tools and turned them into jewelry pieces, moving them from a cientific context to an artistic point of view, but still keeping and reinterpreting its original function, and creating pieces that can be seen as “new-orthosis”, built in actual prosthetic materials, that enhance body parts by expanding, compressing and emphasizing them. As for the idea of the name it came from the Psychiatric Conflict Theory: Attraction/ Rejection – where you first feel attracted and then reject it. In the collection Conflict: Rejection/Attraction – you first feel repulsed by surgical tools, those foreign bodies that penetrate your own, but then as they turn then into intricate and delicate art/jewellery pieces, you feel attracted to them. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SPOKING TO DOCTORS, BIOENGINEERS AND ORTHOPEDIC TECHNICIANS. WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?
THEDRAFTMAG / #05 / FREE / OLGA NORONHA
Prosthetic cervical collar
For example, the ortho-prosthetic pieces from this last collection were design by me, but, as I actually wanted them to be made of original materials, I went on looking for a prosthetic lab with which I could collaborate. As soon as I found what I wanted, I wrote a formal proposal asking for their availability to intensively work with me for one month and that was exactly what happened. It was an incredibly enriching experience. So for my next project and investigation I want to merge scientific areas with my jewellery concepts, and defy what already exists. You might soon understand what I am talking about! SO CAN WE ASSUME THAT YOU ARE ALREADY WORKING IN A NEW COLLECTION? WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT IT? Meanwhile I am going to keep on developing this collection, and turning it into an investigation project that will join bio-engineering and surgical science, in order to continue to explore the boundaries of the body and its capacity of being “Re-Designed”.
THEDRAFTMAG / #05 / FREE / OLGA NORONHA
YOUR WORK IS VERY CONCEPTUAL. SO HOW DO YOU SEE THE MARKETING OF YOUR WORK? AND HOW DO YOU WANT TO COMBINE THIS TWO SIDES? Behind all my art pieces there is an idea. It’s a type of jewellery where the aesthetics is far from being the most important. I wish to contribute for that people can start to understand the jewellery piece as not only a mere adornment. There is poetry and different types of moods behind the design methodology. I really want my pieces to be appreciated in a different way from the ones exhibited on a jewellery shop window. I try to explore different positions, and somehow try to enphasise or euphemize extensions of the body. Thus being, the act of wearing any of my pieces, whatever the size or value, it is by itself a new way of thinking and presenting ourselves. The body becomes as if a “showcase” that, instead of static, combines its own movement with the implicit life of an art piece. Mainly I wish people won’t be apathetic towards my work, whatever the reaction – good or bad! WITH WHAT EXPRESSION WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR WORK? Boundary-pushing. WHO IS, OR HOW IT IS, THE PERSON TO
Reverdin suture needle earring
WHOM YOU DESIGN?
HAVE ANY MUST-HAVE ACCESSORY ?
I do not make my pieces to reach a particular type of person. I do create them expecting people to understand the relationship they are establishing with what they are wearing, that they would feel the pieces, as if they were more than mere objects you place on you body to simply adorn it.
I do, a very simple silver ring made of two jump rings joint together. It means the close relationship I had with a person in my familly that recently passed away.
I think I would be very pleased to see Daphne Guinness wearing any of my pieces. WHO DO YOU ADMIRE? I wouldn’t say I have a favourite designer. I do prefer saying that I like various designers for their peculiar and individual details, either in their conceptual approach, or by their design/craft path. But If I have to choose someone now, I would definetly go with Naomi Filmer, Gerd Rothman, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Gareth Pugh. AND WITH WHICH DESIGNERS WOULD YOU LIKE TO COLLABORATE? Until now I have already worked for Diane Von Fusterberg (S/S 2010) and with Fleet Ilya London. I would have loved to work with Alexander Mcqueen, and in the future I would love to work with Nick Knight and Gareth Pugh. AND WHAT ABOUT EXHIBITIONS? YOU HAD PLENTY ALREADY. ARE YOU PLANNING ANY SOON? Not for now, apart from the Mres in Design final exhibition in London. I will however collaborate with SayMyName at Lisbon Fashion Week, this March. Watch out for it! THIS QUESTION WAS INEVITABLE: DO YOU
Meanwhile I’m going to keep on developing my investigation project, now in the MRES in Design at Goldsmiths College. Then I want to develop it to a higher stage in a PHD, and keep on collaborating with other designers and photographers. In a near future, I wish to go through different experiences: I want to keep beeing a design researcher, developing pieces for art galleries, collaborating with fashion designers and fashion editorials, and also teach for a while. A WISH FOR 2012? Being able to achieve all my dreams! And there are a lot of them.
