This striking artwork features a large, faceted crystal quartz point as its central focus. The natural, irregular contours and angles of the crystal create a striking visual interplay of light and shadow, with the translucent material appearing to glow from within. The overall composition is minimalist and geometric, with the ring-like form drawing the viewer's attention to the intricate details and patterns within the crystal. The artist's use of this raw, unpolished gemstone material suggests a focus on the inherent beauty and power of the natural world. This piece likely aims to invite contemplation of the connections between the physical and metaphysical realms. ...

But overall, it’s a punk ethos that has permeated Schobinger’s work ever since he encountered the burgeoning subculture in the late-1970s. Fashioned out of the destroyed remnants of the everyday, his jewelry can often appear physically dangerous – shards of glass, saw blades, and other threatening tools are placed in sharp contrast to human necks, wrists, and fingers – even though each piece is meticulously designed and engineered to be wearable.
His work was included in the V&A’s survey show Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990. ...
