Militsa Milenkova - Designer (Scotland)

Gob ring Plastic, rubber. Cold connection, assembling.

My work is mostly spontaneous, I draw my inspiration mainly from my surroundings and experiences. Everyday objects, shapes, scenes and situations. In my practice, I explore various concepts and questions that intrigue me, through self- initiated projects. These challenge my creativity and give me the opportunity to experiment with different materials. I create series of jewellery and objects as a means of communicating my thoughts and opinions.
