« Mirar, observar, desmontar mentalmente, entender y descubrir el proceso de creación de los objetos, los materiales que los componen y la pasión por aprender me han permitido crecer y evolucionar en mis procesos creativos. Lápices, papeles, pinceles, colas, telas, hilos, agujas… han sido las herramientas que me han acompañado siempre, recientemente se han añadido los metales, las limas,el soldador, los plásticos, las resinas… todo aquello que me permite expresarme dentro del mundo de la joyería contemporánea. En mis piezas busco el mensaje, la originalidad, siempre con el lenguaje y la técnica adecuada a cada caso, a menudo me arriesgo, disfruto de la libertad que me da trabajar en un proyecto propio. » Isabel Tristan at CONTEXT Galeria

WHITES …… spring light ……..

  « Working on the « when I grow up » collection, my aim is to build « flesh » around a metal frame. I would like to create forms that highlight their components: an inner support, a core or a system of axis out of silver or copper, a body or a mass developed around it out of jesmonite and finally an outer surface, the skin.
Jesmonite is a composite material used in fine arts, crafts, and construction. It consists of gypsum based raw material in an acrylic resin. »

EXCHANGE-BIJOU 2 – Anne DINAN at LOOT 2017

Anne DINAN

have been selected to participate in the 2017 spring edition of LOOT: Mad About Jewelry at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. From April 4 through 8, 2017

‘LOOT: Mad About Jewelry’ Returns this Spring with 54 Artists from 21 Countries

From April 4 through 8, 2017, the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) presents LOOT: MAD About Jewelry, the annual exhibition and sale of contemporary art jewelry. Now in its 17th edition, LOOT presents a cross-section of the most exciting cutting-edge art jewelry designs, while offering the public a rare opportunity to meet and acquire pieces directly from some of the most skilled creators in the field. A striking example of the evolving possibilities of jewelry as an art form, LOOT: MAD About Jewelry champions the vision and craftsmanship of outstanding art jewelers—most of whom have never before shown work in the United States.

This year’s edition welcomes 54 artists from 21 countries, the majority of whom have never been shown in New York. All were selected by Bryna Pomp following a full year of travel and research.

THE LOOT ACQUISITION PRIZE
Awarded by a jury, the LOOT Acquisition Prize seeks to recognize a LOOT jewelry artist whose work reflects a maturity in artistry and concept; exhibits both a superior and experimental understanding of materials and form; and demonstrates expertise in technique and execution. The 2017 jury is chaired by William and Mildred Lasdon Chief Curator Shannon R. Stratton, Assistant Curator Barbara Paris Gifford, and LOOT Curator Bryna Pomp. The 2017 LOOT Acquisition Prize will be awarded on April 3 at the Opening Benefit dinner.

EXCHANGE-BIJOU 2 – Carlos SILVA – news from MARS ….

Carlos SILVA

Carlos Silva works  a LOT on others jewellers, their exhibitions, their works, their news …. and it’s difficult to find news about HIS works, his news, his exhibitions ! He takes his work as AJF (ART JEWELRY FORUM) Ambassador VERY seriously ! and as he is TOO Board Member of PIN (PIN – Associação Portuguesa de Joalharia Contemporânea) you can understand …………

The last pictures we got about his work are of « dark things », mainly brooches, that are titled in portuguese « pregadeiras » (the word for « brooch ») but that sounds for me as « prière » or « preghiera » :  prayers …. a nice sound, a nice thing, a nice idea, a nice object ….

Carlos Silva -  Pregadeira / Brooch – charcoal, foam, cooper, steel and paint

Carlos Silva - Pregadeira / Brooch  – Charcoal, foam, copper, steel and metallic paint

Or very pinky testings : Carlos Silva  experiments wax modelling (at  « Workshop Ceras Criativas II » with Elena Larrén @ Valentim Quaresma Studio in Lisboa, last january 2017) …. nice pinky delicate works in progress !

EXCHANGE-BIJOU 2 – Yafit Ben Meshulam – « Appear & disappear »

Yafit Ben Meshulam / Lacuna

Lacuna is a space between elements
A quiet elongation between one musical note to the next
A gap in the text that leaves room for imagination
The cocoon left behind when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. . .
My name is Yafit Ben Meshulam. I’m a jewelry designer, maker and metal smith working and living in Tel Aviv, Israel. I earned a B.DES degree in jewelry design from the distinguished Shenkar College of engineering and design in Tel Aviv.
Thanks for letting me share my passion with you and welcome to my shop

« Through jewellery I can express myself in countless colours, textures and materials. Jewellery can be flexible, fragile, light, heavy, shiny, matte, and…well, the list could go on forever! »

« In her latest collection - « Appear & Disappear » – she has focused on organic and abstract shapes, adding an industrial twist to them by combining 3D printing techniques with metals, resin or embroidered elements. Some pieces such as the necklaces are larger; others such as her multiple brooches or earrings are smaller and can be employed to subtly and stylishly decorate the body. » (interview on Irenebrination blog)

Not only  her jewellery is delicious, as well as strong, but the pictures support that sensation so well !

EXCHANGE-BIJOU 2 – Tal EFRAIM – design in progress …

Tal Barash Efraim 

« In my eyes, jewelry is all about cherishing a moment, a memory or an adventure. I try to communicate the world as I see it, knowing others will also connect to my vision and cherish their own experiences through my artwork. » (Klimt02 interview)

But, before all,

march 2017, NEW GRADUATES from SHENKAR !!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!

SHENKAR graduation mars 2017 ! Tal Efraim (au milieu) avec Maya Shoshan (gauche) et Roni Liani (droite) (two other jewellers from Shenkar)

Tal Efraim work on process mars 2017
« If only I could speed up the time it takes me to sketch each jewel! But I gotta say, I truly love it, my type of meditation »

Tal Efraim work on process mars 2017

 Tal Efraim- « Diff earrings – Circles are for Mondays, Lines are for Thursdays, and danglies are for Saturday night parties?? ORR do I have it all wrong.. A different circle earring for each day of the week ? Because next months salary will pay for the line earrings ? »

Tal Efraim - Color of stones –
« There are so many theories about the different gemstones that can be set in a jewel. The luck they bring, the energies.. I have even been told I shouldn’t be wearing a certain stone because of the month I was born in. I believe the right stone is the stone that makes you feel the best version of yourself out there. Today it can be rubies, tomorrow blue sapphires and next week it just has to be an amazing green emerald »

Tal Efraim -
« Posting my design process (especially through video) really captures the effort put into each design.. but sharing the final jewel is just as rewarding! »

Tal Efraim -
« Creating a sketch is all about understanding the different parts that have to be designed. Every little part of a jewel has a huge impact on the final product. How it sits on your ear, the movement of a charm, or the right light a diamond should reflect..
This is my process and I am so happy to be sharing it with you« 

Tal Efraim –
« details are my passion …. 
love my job« 

yes ? and I … WE … DO love your job !!!
