From Plain To Precious
Mel Lim met Ana Hagopian on a serendipitous road sales meeting.
Ana had just landed from Barcelona and came into Juxtaposition in Orange County to show off her wares too. Mel was blown away by the craftsmanship and beauty of Ana Hagopian’s work instantaneously. Ana went on explaining how each piece was made, as she gestured fluidly with her fingers, how she would roll the recycled pulp, fold, twist them into shapes and further explained how she would color die each piece, set to dry and handled each one with care to produce a single necklace! Ana’s work is simply stunning, original, and most of all inspiring and couture. It was such an auspicious meeting Mel would never forget.
