Marianne Cornelius creates sculptural jewelry through handwoven metal structure derived from Soumak, a technique historically rooted in textile weaving. Translating this method into metals, she develops dense rythmic surfaces in which line and material become structural elements.

Through the slow process of weaving metal wire, forms emerge that oscillate between openness and density, structure and movement. Stones and minerals appear as quiet focal points within these woven fields, ceating moments of tension and balance.

Cornelius approaches jewelry not as ornament but as a spatial object in relation to the body. Her work function as a small-scale architectures in which line, rythm and material form a coherent system

Marianne Cornelius lives and works in Vienna. She studied painting with Ernst Fuchs of the Vienna School Of Fantastic Realism.
