Young Hunting presents Lot I of it’s first collection, Fata Morgana at Craft Victoria’s Craft Hatch Market on Saturday April 10.
For Young Hunting’s first collection Fata Morgana, Candice explores the realms of myth and folklore.
Fata Morgana is the Italian name for Morgan le Fay. Reputedly a sorceress and able to change shape at will, she was sometimes said to live below the sea in a crystal palace that could also rise above the surface.
A series of rings and pendants that are raw, tooled and cut rough by hand, resemble crystal mountains and illusory weapons. Heavy rocks of .925 are finished to a high polish, and juxtaposed against oxidized black. The sombre colour palette of silver .925 and black natural forms of jet crystal and black obsidian are interspersed with the blues and purples from carved pieces of paua shell.
Here is a preview of Lot I…
Floating Castle Ring, oxidised .925.
Mount Etna Ring, hand carved jet crystal.
Sirens Rock Necklace, oxidised .925 on 36″ .925 chain.
Guillotine Ring, hand carved jet crystal.

A selection of Husam el Odeh’s work. Some of these remind me of Mason Martin Margiela’s design aesthetic. I like the way he breaks the code. His most recent collaboration is with Topman, but there is no code breaking there.

Don’t know shit about the Kabbalah. And kinda feel bad using shit and Kabbalah in the same sentence. (Respect). But. This shit is cool.
LOOK AT THIS.
What is it? What does it mean?
Well. Apparently this form represents one of the five parts of the soul.
“Child Intuition/Heavenly Crown is a Star Dodecahedron. As a part of the soul it represents the symbol only; the supernatural sense of experiences. The highest reach as a metaphor of reaching upward, a transcendental extension of Yesod the mundane Senses.
Supernally there is a crown above the head which is beyond sensations. The heavenly crown is some distance above the head. Perhaps the same small distance above the head as the distance of the feet above the ground, when descending onto the earth, delivered here upon the earth from eternity.”
