“What more encapsulates the spirit of creation than having a child? The feeling of boundless potential, and emotional resonance, a muse that symbolizes empowerment, amplified energy, a sense of glowing magic,” says Nureyev. Nureyev gets inspired by looking at new ways to approach a material, which is evident in Stella Fluorescent’s use of textiles. She loves to experiment with various textile construction techniques and natural hand dyeing, hand painting, and sewing. They transform fabric yardage into skeins of strands (not unlike yarn) and then weave, braid, knot, form, dye, and embellish this material to achieve a collection of pieces that are unique and unexpected. Being inspired by nature, especially sea life and lunar cycles, Nureyev adds elements of nature, using natural fibers and sustainable processes. Infusing a piece with these intentions can affect the wearer. Perhaps a necklace can beautify and act as a talisman that allows for a deeper connection to and reverence for the natural world.
