Malki’s founders - artists Ariella, Adam and Lia Anderson - harmoniously incorporate a diverse set of expertise drawn from equally diverse practices. After many cumulative years of independent making in our respective fields, we have come together to make jewellery and art objects with soul.
Our collective practice is rooted in the appreciation of culture, heritage, the landscape, history, and the sociopolitical experiences of contemporary life. We consider it our role to go beyond making desirable objects but to interact with contemporary life, celebrating its freedoms and challenging outdated and problematic values. It is our aim to make objects of self-empowerment, objects that protect and fortify as they adorn and speak to one’s identity and worldview.
We are motivated by the enriching and enjoyable process of creation, in which raw materials transform and by extension become transformative and empowering devices of self-expression. As such, these materials matter—and accordingly we strongly favour ethically sourced materials. The majority of Malki metals are responsibly sourced, and many of our gemstones are similarly ethically sourced or reclaimed and repurposed.
Malki Studio pieces are characterised by the emotional grandeur of exaggerated archaeological, architectural, natural, and asymmetrical forms. Bold and confident, Malki creates conceptually invested and individualistic statement jewellery.
