Trophies // In the Reign of Coyote.

with :   Cameron Andersen — Jane Dodd — Aliyah Gold — Steven Gordon Holman — Akihiro Ikeyama — Lore Langendries — Märta Mattsson — Kerianne Quick (Keri Kwik) — Anna Talbot — Tanel Veenre — Mallory Weston.

The hunt is a ritual; through gathering, searching, and collecting we create amulets, myths, and trophies. The works of these jewelers are rooted in these traditions; they look to nature and translate what they see.To hunt is to gather, to search, to collect. Through hunting, making, the weaving of stories, we are able to resist modernity’s denial of belief, and to keep our ties with the natural world. There is a primal, universal longing for myth, for an understanding of the immeasurable power of nature, and an allure in conquering, transforming, becoming. The hunt is a ritual, a way to insert ourselves into an ages-old cycle. In hunting we take on the role of maker, turning one thing into another. In making we are shamans, translating worlds, perspectives, identity.These jewelers distinguish themselves through their sensitive treatment of nature. Their work utilizes the material language of the trophy through the use of animal imagery and materials. The transformations they wrought, and the stories they weave, set them apart from other makers and unify them through aesthetic and conceptual application. In the Reign of Coyote references a collection of stories about the earth’s becoming, fables of animal and human relationships. The work of these artists looks back to a time when we, as humans, turned directly to nature for guidance, sustenance, and support.

Jane Dodd

Jane Dodd works in metal, wood, bone, shell and makes pieces that investigate storytelling and narrative. She is particularly interested in exploring a dialogue between nature and culture.

Swooping work by Märta Mattsson  for TROPHIES

« Märta Mattsson   sees beauty in things that other people find strange or are even repulsed by. She becomes fascinated when there is something you do not want to see and by the feeling you get when you do not want to look at something, yet you still do. Her jewellery deals with the tension that lies between attraction and repulsion. »

Sleek work by Tanel Veenre  for TROPHIES

Tanel Veenre ‘s jewels take one on a journey that starts from the depths of the sea, continues on through coral reefs, past dancing sea horses and then on to the cultivation of silkworms. The voyage ends in a cosmic cloud.

Dark work by Lore Langendries for TROPHIES

Her research interests include the interaction between craft and industry, between unique and serial with a particular focus on (re)production, digital technology, tactility, the behaviour of materials and the subjective role of the maker. In her recent series, Hunacturing, Langendries is questioning the nature of reproduction via a combination of natural materials, mechanical treatment and the human touch.

Aliyah Gold 

Animal imagery and animal-based materials have been used in jewelry dating back to the first civilizations. Gold challenges herself to create jewelry that contains the essence of an animal rather than merely a representation.

Mallory Weston 

She works with a variety of medium including metal, fiber, concrete, and spray-paint creating bold, compelling, and interactive wearable art. Currently, she is exploring snake imagery, symbolism, and serpent dichotomies within

her work.

Steven Gordon Holman

 he grew up in the West Desert (USA) where he developed a close relationship to the natural world. His work is invested in material and myth, both cultural and personal. Through the building of these myth he creates artifacts and amulets of The Tribe

Anna Talbot

Anna Talbot’s jewellery is inspired by fairy tales, nursery rhymes, songs and stories. Wolves, deer, trees, forests and Little Red Riding Hood are all central elements in her universe, and they don’t necessarily stick to their traditional roles.

DECOUVERTE : Keri KWIK

Keri KWIK  (US – illinois) ……… qui s’avère être Kerianne Quick !!! )

Kerianne Quick was born in 1977 in Glendale, California and graduated from San Diego State University in 2002. In college she studied applied arts with emphasis in metalsmithing under Helen Shirk. During her undergraduate education she studied abroad at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Scotland, a period of time which would prove to have recurring influence on the progression of her work and thinking. In 2011 Kerianne will graduate from the University of Illinois with a Masters of Fine Art in Metals. In 2011-2012 as Kate Neal Kinley Fellow Kerianne will take a position at the jewelry design foundation Chi ha paura…? in Amsterdam where she will work closely with influential designer and founder of Droog Design, Gijs Bakker. Kerianne’s multicultural upbringing has afforded her an acute awareness of the subtle similarities and extreme differences that exist between peoples and places. This unique perspective has transformed into a voracious curiosity of others, a love of the act of travel and interest in the modern traditions of tourism. These interests fuel work whose fundamental objective is one of visceral understanding of a people and place, filtered through the experience of an outsider pretending to be an insider. Kerianne’s work becomes a strange commemoration of a time and place; a kind of reverse souvenir made by the visitor instead of the visited. Her material-centric and material-specific approach is intended to inspire the viewer to consider a complex network of historical, economic, and geopolitical forces that bring an object into existence.

Keri Kwik (US) – ring – Saatgut – Sém – (seed) sterling silver, corrugated fine silver, non-toxic epoxy resin, dandelion seed - Encapsulated dandelion seed, collected near the tracks during a military inspection of our train at the German and Czech Republic border

« I am interested in material and source, and meaning rooted in the connections between them. I investigate how materials collect their identity, beginning with geographic origins, through cultural connections and histories, ending with the objects they become. By traveling to physically gather material and information myself I create a personal connection to the source and attempt to render that bond. I account for the journey from source to viewer, acting as a liaison, intent on bringing the two worlds closer to one another. As a result of thorough research I become expert and the work becomes a vessel for discovery, communication and understanding. Through this act I hope to discover how my role as a connector of material and histories affects the form of the object and the formulation of the role of the viewer. The work’s ultimate goal is to inspire the viewer to consider a complex network of historical, economic, and geopolitical forces that bring an object into existence. Thus I intentionally collapse the notion that art or any designed object can emerge from an insular creative bubble, untouched by history, culture and economy. The specific use of material is dictated by my own inability to express what the material can express with authority. As a maker, I cannot create what the material holds within it, thus I borrow the power of material to communicate. In turn, as a maker I release a form of the materials own agency that it cannot release itself. This is a cooperative act. » (sourcematters)

The School of Art and Design’s 2011 Master of Fine Arts Exhibition in the Krannert Art Museum is the culmination of up to three years of concentrated studio research and practice and includes the work of Jung Eun Chang, Qi Chen, Michael Elwell, Karri Fischer, Motoko Furuhashi, Anna Gutsch, Katie Latona, Huang Li, Yi Liao, Kerianne Quick, Moonki Son, Shuo Yang, and Anne Youngquist. For these artists and designers, this exhibition showcases graduate research and practice and functions as a tangible thesis, an essential companion to the required written text that distinguishes their Master of Fine Arts degree. More significantly, this exhibition is an educational space that functions as an extension of the studio and classroom—a public platform upon which objects and images are positioned so as to propose arguments, ask questions and sustain dialogue. The careful crafting of these arguments and the explicit mastery of materials evidenced in these creative works reveal the intense commitment that these artists and designers have made to their chosen field of study. The School of Art and Design celebrates their achievement!
Exhibition Dates: April 16th through May 1st 2011 , Krannert Art Museum
