Post Apocalyptic Mystic

The “Post Apocalyptic Mystic” collection is a collaboration between jewelry artisan Kari Bjork and DIY artist Mux Blank. The collection starts with up-cycled building materials (rusty tin roof, hardened wood, and old copper wire) that were pulled from a house built on Vine Street in Athens circa 1940. Mux Blank bangs out metal art pieces and trinkets using simple tools like a hammer and chisel. Kari Bjork then intertwines these pieces with mixed metals, vintage fragments, and found objects to create stunning and refined jewelry. All of which reflect ideals seemingly inspired by a mystical and innately magical post-apocalyptic muse that’s part post-modern hobo, part apocalyptic survival kit, part chaotic magical symbolism, and part turning trash into treasures that any dusty scavenger would kill for. This series of wearable art pieces from Blank and Bjork will engage you in a style way ahead of it’s time. The END is NEAR… Are you prepared!?!
