I discovered Kyle Hopkins through a meeting one day with Harriet from HPR, as we were chatting I started noticing the gold and silver pieces beside me, slowly trying them on Harriet started explaining to me all the stories behind each piece; lips cast from his first kiss, his sisters ear, fingerprint rings (you can have these done with your own print); it was clear that there’s meaning behind Kyle’s work. ‘He casts imagination and enquiry, starting a story for someone else to finish. So when the jewel reaches its new owner, she just takes over the narative’. I think the silver pieces are my favourite, especially the signat rings shown here, and the fingerprint rings which for some reason aren’t here! Currently, you can buy Kyle’s pieces on Kabiri.
