EXCHANGE-BIJOU 1 – Isabel TRISTAN – Et suivre la ligne ……

Isabel Tristan, comme un fil qui tourne et tourne et tourne, bois tourné ?

Mais coup de coeur immédiat lorsque j’ai découvert ses bijoux au dernier Melting Point, à Valencia, en Mai 2016, à l’exposition « Pagina en blanco » au Centro del Carmen !
Tout est dans la ligne, EST ligne, ligne d’écriture, trait de dessin, et tout ramène au mode de l’écriture, du livre, y  compris le matériau utilisé, papier, sinon le bois -duquel on tire le papier- ….. comme un « gribouillage », un « repentir », un retour en arrière, un recommencement, et puis finalement c’est là, c’est ça, ça s’impose en force et en gracilité ……

« 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. » (Galeria Context)

I have recently added metals, foils, solders, plastics, resins… anything that allows me to express myself in the contemporary jewellery world.

Interview with Isabel Tristan in Itineràncies Context :« Eres diplomada en Diseño Gráfico por la Escuela Massana de Barcelona, y has realizado cursos de pintura en la misma escuela. ¿Qué te llevó a interesarte por la joyería?
 Siempre había dicho que volvería a la Escuela Massana para cursar la especialidad de escultura. Mi llegada al mundo de la joyería fue un tanto práctica, quería trabajar volúmenes, materiales muy diversos y esta especialidad me permitía conocer muchas técnicas escultóricas a pequeña escala, que además puedo realizar sin grandes cambios en mi pequeño taller en casa.
 En la actualidad combinas el diseño gráfico con la joyería de forma habitual. ¿Qué crees que tienen en común estas dos disciplinas artísticas? ¿Cuál de las dos piensas que te permite expresarte mejor?
 Todos los procesos creativos comparten muchos aspectos desde que aparece la idea, esbozarla y llevarla a término, cambia la manera de expresarlos o el soporte sobre los cuales se ejecutan y evidentemente el proceso de comunicación que se establece.
Con las  dos especialidades me siento cómoda, en el diseño gráfico suk,rge mi lado más racional, yo pongo las herramientas y los recursos para que un tercero obtenga un beneficio llegando a sus objetivos. En la joyería surge mi lado más personal, tengo plena libertad para empezar un proyecto, para ir transformándolo, evolucionando a mi gusto,soy yo en estado puro, sin terceras personas.
Conocer las dos especialidades hace que las pueda interrelacionar y que una retroalimente a la otra, a menudo algunos joyeros me dicen “se nota que eres diseñadora gráfica”, pero también sucede al contrario. »

Yiota Vogli, layers of paper
“Layers of Memory”

« As a visual artist, I transfer onto my work pictures, stimuli and sentiments, through numerous sketches, colors and forms. This material comprises the basis of “Layers of Memory”, my latest jewelry series, which is stemming from my personal memories and deals with the density of substance.

Paper stripes, in dense or attenuated layers, create forms of multiple colours. Then, bonded and attached onto silver become symbols. Symbols of past imprints and memories that have lost their actuality, since time and personal renderings – feelings, subjective readings, even mind distortions – transform them into something open to interpretation.

Using a personal language of inner thoughts and selected memories, my work tends to arise hidden or forgotten images, thoughts and memories to the viewers. »

COUP de COEUR / DECOUVERTE : Lucia Mishquila Brichta

Coup de COEUR ? je dirais presque un coup de SANG …. « ce qui nous unit c’est le sang »

Sangre – Collares en papel vegetal y Tinta de Lucia Mishquila Brichta

¿Qué nos une?
Nos une la SANGRE
Doscientos años de historia que fueron pasando de generación en generación. Desde entonces han cambiado nuestras viviendas, forma de vestirnos y expresarnos, forma de alimentarnos y ritmos de vida.
Todo pareciera ser distinto… pero como dice mi abuela ¨la sangre no es agua¨.
Nuestra herencia es totalmente inmaterial, no está en una foto, ni en un objeto, ni siquiera en el recuerdo…
En homenaje a mis antepasados creo esta serie de piezas tituladas ¨SANGRE QUE GUARDA HISTORIAS DE OTRA SANGRE¨. mars 2013

pagina en Joyeros Argentinos
« La naturaleza y lo femenino como un diálogo constante entre la mirada exterior y la visión interior.
El poder de la acción curativa. la acción como un ritual cotidiano en la búsqueda de belleza y equilibrio. Un trabajo concretado entre el ojo y la mano, entre mi mente y mi corazón juntos.
Silencio profundo, misterioso, placentero. Quiero tocarlo, sentirlo, comprenderlo. Pero otra vez vuelve a moverse. »

Manifiesto
« Trabajar con mis manos me conecta con mis emociones más profundas. El contacto es la vía más directa a mi corazón.
Algo de la naturaleza humana brota de ese encuentro, en el que me remonto a mi origen. Un origen de montaña, de semilla, de piedra, de ritual que me sana. 
Intuitivamente exploro el material; me acerco a una forma que entre el tiempo, la mirada de los otros y la propia va adquiriendo significado. 
Silencio profundo, misterioso, placentero. Quiero tocarlo, sentirlo, comprenderlo. Pero otra vez vuelve a moverse. »

 RR Gallery - 2016

Work from Jeremy May, Flora Vagi, Shiri Avda, Kiwon Wang, and Katherine Richmond
Shown: « Four Fantastic Tales » by Jeremy May

The Gallery at Reinstein|Ross is proud to present “Read and Worn” an exhibition featuring the work of five international artists who transform the pages of books and newspapers into unique works of wearable art jewelry. These artists are storytellers, who utilize the printed word as their form of expression. Whether using publications in their entirety, or simply using a few sheets of print, these artists give new life to the printed page. In the spirit of “intellectual recycling”, discarded newspapers and old books – literature, history and news – are given a second chance as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings. Paper has long been a popular material for the creation of art, with artists often hand-making their own paper. Using the pages of books, newspapers, encyclopedias, however, is a recent trend, ironically spurred by the popularity of e-readers and online publications, and thus the abandonment of the printed and bound book.

Flora Vagi brooches at RR Gallery: Flora Vagi brooches

Hungarian artist Flora Vagi loves the smell of old books. Collecting old books, she removes the pages to create brooches inspired by marine life and floral forms. Vagi’s multilayered brooches are organic and curvilinear, just the opposite of the original structured and bound books. Vagi refers to her work as “intellectual recycling”, she enjoys knowing that these books, once found on someone’s shelf, have gone from inhabiting a private space to a public one when worn on the body. Vagi, is a celebrated art jeweler who often works with wood. In “Read and Worn” she will show her paper jewelry in the United States for the first time. 

Kiwon Wang neckpieceKiwon Wang neckpiece

Since childhood, Korean artist Kiwon Wang, has been inspired by paper. Not only is paper used freely in Korean domestic architecture, but growing up, her family always had an extensive library of books. Encouraged to “find out who she is”, while in graduate school at the Rhode Island School of design, it was obvious to Wang that paper, pearls, and metals were going to be her materials. Even now, printed paper is Wang’s material of choice. Wang chooses articles from old newspapers to create necklaces, brooches, and bracelets. Most of her pieces are adorned with pearls, the lustrous gems prized for their beauty in both Western and Eastern cultures. Wang is attracted to spherical forms, not just because this shape represents the earth but also because process of recycling is circular. 

work from Jeremy Maywork from Jeremy May

Jeremy May  paper ring: Jeremy May  paper ring

London-based artist Jeremy May purchases books from his local thrift store. After reading each one, he chooses a story that inspires him the most and turns it into a wearable sculpture.  May selects the pages that he carefully removes from the book, laminating as many as a hundred sheets together, then applies a high gloss finish before reinserting the jewelry into the excavated space within the book. Through his jewelry May hopes to give books a “new lease on life” and inspire people to fall in love with them all over again.

 Shiri Avda, “Rock Paper Scissors” Rings: Shiri Avda, “Rock Paper Scissors” Rings

Israeli native Shiri Avda in her work “The Mechanism of Reading” aspires to provoke the viewer with an experience equivalent to reading and leafing through the pages of an old book. Her objects, meant to be both worn and displayed on the wall, are carved from discarded books and embellished with an old lace pattern. Her second series, “Rock Paper Scissors” is inspired by the “world of texture and color” in the printed word. Avda does not conceal the typeface here, instead choosing to reveal the beauty of the printed pages that she takes from antique books and atlases. A fan-like shape – a flourish of paper -  is often used in her pendants, rings, and brooches.  

Katherine Richmond  Brooch: Katherine Richmond  Brooch

British artist Katherine Richmond trained as a jeweler and silversmith but her Graduate thesis at the School of Jewellery, Birmingham City University, UK prompted her to explore working with alternative materials, including books. Richmond utilizes pages from multi-volume Victorian journals and books, focusing on illustrations which she believes are rarely ever seen by the public, to create multi-layered and highly detailed brooches, necklaces, and pendants. Unlike the rest of the artists in the exhibition, Richmond’s jewelry is full of strong images by which she creates her own narrative. She “uses books as a symbol of permanence and longevity to create wearable objects with a fragility that questions traditional notions of wear-ability.” Paper, she says, is a lot more durable then people think it is.

DECOUVERTE/COUP de COEUR ….. Rachel BLAIR from Glasgow School of Art

Rachel BLAIR

Rachel Blair – A Sense of Place
Rachel is a recent graduate from the Glasgow School of Art, 2015 (Degree Show 2015). She is a Jeweller, designer, maker from the Northern Isles of Orkney.  She is interested in creating pieces with contain balance in material and tension. Her work is an expression of her constant longing for a sense of belonging. She is interested in the phycology of attachment to place and the memories and thoughts alluded from the feeling of belonging. Her work this past year has been focussed on the idea of a ‘sense of place’, through this she has been investigating her own honesty. Her pieces are true to the original materials; she does not try to conceal construction. The sensitivity of the fragile papers held in by pressure and tension create uneasiness, however aesthetically beautiful.

« My pieces are mainly constructed from silver and gold wire frames with tension set wound papers. These papers are all hand dyed and wound individually to create intricate patterns incorporating the flaws and ripples. I uses papers to create pieces that have a sense of preciousness, papers that are usually worthless, but when manipulated and set in a precious setting have a much greater meaning. By using paper, my pieces have a limited lifetime. It is the wearing away of the precious papers within a materially precious band that is the interest. The piece is always under tension and stress, but aesthetically complete. » Rachel Blair

Rachel BlairRachel Blair Neckpiece: Held’ Goldsmiths Precious Metal Bursary, 2015 – Yellow metal, white metal & ink stained papers – 18 x 45 x3 cm – Photo by: Rachel Blair

She has been working closely with drawing materials in her pieces. Drawing is an integral part of her design process. It is the love of the tangibility and immediacy of a sketchbook, and how private and controlled a sketchbook can be; that is the catalyst to transfer those qualities into her work conceptually and aesthetically. Her pieces are constructed from silver and gold wire frames with tension set papers. These are hand dyed and wound individually to create intricate patterns within the layers. She uses papers to create pieces that have a duality of preciousness, papers that are usually worthless, but when manipulated and set in a precious setting have a much greater meaning. By using paper, her pieces have a limited lifetime. It is the wearing away of the precious papers within a materially precious band that is the interest. The piece is always under tension and stress, but aesthetically complete.

« I have been teaching Rachel Blair at Glasgow for the past four years and have watched how her work has grown in confidence and skill.
Her degree body of work focuses on her love of her home, Orkney. The work explores ways of capturing a sense of place and communicating visually her connections to the island. From this exploration of emotions and memories colour and material exploration has become a key component of her work. Through a thorough research investigation into paper and the use of colour Rachel has created complex yet simple pieces using ink and paper. Gradients of colour, washes of blues and browns create warmth and detail in tightly bound paper structures. This is an unconventional choice of materials within a jewellery degree and showcases Rachel’s efforts to challenge convention.

Agnes WO

Ma Término japonés traducido como vacío, intervalo o pausa en el espacio y el tiempo. El tiempo y el espacio son indivisibles; el espacio vacío es tan importante como el espacio que se llena; el vacío interactúa con la sustancia y le da forma. El concepto de ma puede referirse a los vacíos en una escultura, a los intervalos espaciales en arquitectura, al silencio entre las notas de una canción o a las pausas en la pronunciación de una frase.

(Francis D.K. Ching, Diccionario visual de arquitectura)

Agnes WO - ma(espai en blanc) - SENDAÏ necklace -  DETAILAgnes WO -- ma(espai en blanc) – SENDAÏ necklace(DETAIL)

 
Ma, el origen:
Agnès WO piensa en el blanco como una materia prima. O, yendo más atrás, como la materia primigenia de sus creaciones. El blanco como vocabulario básico y etéreo, aliado de la luz, articulable como se articula una frase, una melodía, una estructura. El color no-color es presencia y es ausencia sobre el material físico: es la tensión que sostiene la textura y la forma de una joya, pero también la envolvente efímera que atrapa el vacío y lo hace partícipe de la pieza final.
Ma, el proceso:
Agnès WO es arquitecta y se nota: del blanco extrae el espacio que necesita y lo conduce por donde ella quiere. Manipulando la escala, adapta la tectónica a la anatomía humana. Descontextualizando el material, lo transporta a una esfera imprevisible. El mimbre salvaje se convierte porcelana delicada; los residuos de cerámica se convierten en un ingrediente naturalizado, como un esqueleto de coral. La planeidad del papel se repliega en sí misma y toma cuerpo, o se deshilacha para enjaular el aire con complejas celosías orgánicas. La artista también experimenta con materiales no convencionales, todos ellos llenos de blanco: resina, silicona, parafina, algodón…, que manipula y libera de sus límites para ofrecerles una vida inesperada.

Myung Urso : black & white delight

Classé dans : COUP DE COEUR,Korea (KR),Myung URSO (S.KR),papier / paper — bijoucontemporain @ 18:30

Myung Urso

New series of work from 2014, where Myung Urso explores a working process open to momentary happenings and cultivates objects from the moment creation.

« It is always intriguing to see how my personal imagination and inspiration embody to become an actual object. The working process is more open towards momentary happenings rather than manipulated by preset intention, which brings unexpected value. I rather explore, experience and cultivate the moment.
I often observe how different elements play out in their own way, helping to define the destiny of each work. Pursuing the textures of abundant materials is my primal interest in making jewelry. Adopting different fibers with other solid material reveals unique surfaces, characteristics, shapes, colors and textures. This is the most fascinating part of my work. »
