DISCOVER MORE about Roxy Lentz & her jewelry through the Klimt02 interview !

« A truly passionate jewellery artist who only wants to make jewellery in order to make people happy with her creation and make people think. » (24-10-2017)

« The majority of my jewelry is fabricated with repurposed metals. I love the patina of metal that has had a former life, the owner decided it no longer had value, and I make it into wearable art.
I use as few chemicals as possible; I consider them unnecessary to achieve a beautiful patina, using just a torch and flux. I attempt to make jewelry that has a life for the person who will wear it. »

EXCHANGE-BIJOU 1 – Juan HARNIE – Aesthetical Injection

Juan HARNIE

Aesthetical Injection. ….. suite …..

Aesthetical Injection – Brooches, earrings, rings.
Syringes, Polyurethane, resin, silver, steel – medical gauze imprint.

 

Juan Harnie ‘Aesthetical Injection’ – Brooch

Designing this collection Juan Harnie used medical materials to create attractive, floral looking jewellery. Juan has always seen beauty in materials that have little to no aesthetical value to others. These materials in particular are usually linked to unpleasant situations like hospitals and doctor visits, but now they are taken out of this context and made into uncanny pieces of jewellery.
Juan got his inspiration from flowers and plants, which always seem to please the eye of the beholder. Even when a plant or flower turns out to be hazardous, poisonous or possibly deadly, at first people will always attribute positive feelings towards seeing them. Contradictory, syringes that are designed to administer medicine and in fact heal people are met with fear, disgust and a general feeling of unease. Using these syringes in colourful, floral pieces of jewellery, mimicking the shape and colour of the ever-so-loved flower, might just make people reconsider their initial feelings towards syringes and see the beauty the designer saw in them.
In addition to the syringes, sterile medical gauze is used to imprint the silver backs of the pieces. This medical gauze once again fulfils its original purpose: being worn on the body and thus soothing an inner ache.

EXCHANGE-BIJOU 1 – Roxy Lentz – new works for spring …..

Roxy Lentz

« Conceptual art jewelry from re-purposed metal, wabi-sabi and organic nature. »
LOVE this WILD aspect of her jewelry !!! ……….

Some new work that will be at « Wild Women Wearable Art » and « One of a Kind« .  (One of a Kind, The Mart, Chicago, Illinois – The 2nd annual Spring Show returns April 28-30!)

« I make my jewelry from metal I find at the thrift store, silver plate trays, brass and sometimes bits and pieces I find while on walks. There is always a bit of rusty bolts and stuff in the bottom of my purse! I love to transform something others thought had no value into wearable art jewelry, you should see what I do with PVC I find from the street. »

Roxy Lentz  bracelet from re-purposed metal

Roxy Lentz – bracelet of re-purposed metal – See the maker mark on the metal? It was on the back of the original silver plate tray.

Roxy Lentz Jewelry-  earrings process – A silver plate tray from the thrift store, you can see where I sawed out some earrings. The base metal is brass.

Roxy Lentz Jewelry  – process – The earrings with the first fire patina. If I wanted to keep these just like this, I would have to use cold connections. But, for these earrings, I need to shape them and fuse the ends together, so, some of this will go.

Roxy Lentz earrings – process – The finished earrings. I filed the edges, fused the ends with small bits of silver, and used a wire brush to put a sheen on the surface, and to remove the grime that happened when using the torch. Since I put the torch on the back side, I did preserve some of the beautiful « orange peel » on the front. Now, I could leave these like this, or take a chance and put them in a pickle pot to make them silvery. I like the patina, and I think my customers do too. That beautiful gold sheen on the right side of the right earring, it did it all on its own, that is why these are one of a kind, and uncommon jewelry for independent women.

Roxy Lentz - process to make flower earrings

Roxy Lentz Jewelry  the finished flower earrings. I used silver wire to cold connect the flowers to their base to preserve the patina. You can see that the base metal of this bowl was brass, because of the soft gleam on the edge of the flowers. After soldering on the post I put the brass base in pickle to clean the post, then I put it in a rinse of hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar to clean the fire scale off the brass. Some more buffing with a brass wire brush on the flex shaft. The earrings are about 2 1/2 inch long, and 1 1/2 wide. There are some similar at In Tandem Gallery and Gaia in Winston Salem NC.

Artist Statement
The extraordinary power of objects is obtained, because people believe in them. The more mundane the objects are, the more powerful they become. 
My practice contextualizes the primitive energy that is submerged beneath the layers of garments. When the body is removed, the absence becomes an empty structure. The internal structure is evidence of human existence. It remains full of authentic spirit and fantasy. 
Through the processes of deconstructing and reconstructing materials into symbolic forms, I uncover the hidden intimate and sensual power of humanity. It is a moment when ordinary objects become surreal and uncanny in order to redeem the socially constructed expectations and perceptions.

She just had an exhibition, Unexpected, since  NOV 24th 2016  at Craft Council of British Columbia‎ Gallery, 1386 Cartwright Street, Granville Island; Vancouver V6H 3R8 – An Exhibition by the Vancouver Metal Arts Association

Unexpected explores the strange and sometimes discordant elements that make the viewing, wearing, and making of Contemporary Jewellery an enjoyable endeavor.
The unexpected and Contemporary Art Jewellery are by no means strange bedfellows- viewers and wearers of Contemporary Jewellery often seek out our discipline because it is unusual and extra-ordinary. The unusual, and unusual elements and materials, have become de rigueur in a creative world that continues to embrace post-disciplinary art practices which move beyond medium centered approaches to making.
Participating artists: Lydia Buxton — Melissa Cameron — Bridget Catchpole — Barbara Cohen — Jennifer Crupi – Yoshie Hattori — Kyri Hinkleman — Holland Houdek — Karin Jones — Joshua Kosker — Matt Lambert — Andy Lowrie – Jacqueline Lung — Brooke Marks-Swanson –  Sharon Massey — Louise Perrone- – Lissy Selvius — Jina Seo — Aric Verrastro — Kari Woo — Lawrence Woodford.

VOIR ROUGE avec Galit EINAV project – 1500 matches

Galit EINAV project – 1500 matches

ce projet de Galit Einav mérite d’être soutenu ! et en plus, sa ténacité, sa créativité, son imagination, qui ne flanchent pas, et qui donnent du BEAU !! CHAPEAU !!

Une seconde par jour.
Chaque femme est unique en son genre – mais il y a des femmes qui n’existent pas. Elles sont translucides, instruments, disparues destinées à être uniquement utilisées. Le projet de plus de 1500 allumettes et d’introduire chaque jour une allumette pour elles. Prendre une seconde par jour. Non pour «L’ user et la jeter».

Galit Einav – 1500 matches project -  no.669 (front)

I publish every day a single match. My project consists of 1500 inimitably manipulated matches, which represent the voiceless victims of women trafficking

Tackling Domestic Violence & Slavery, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women – November 26^{th  (asafeworldforwomen)}

Galit Einav, 50, decided to make a change in her life and learn jewelry design at the  Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. The college is located in a very shady area of the stock market building.

« In the four years I’ve been learning in Shenkar*, I could not ignore its surroundings: cafes, shops, and area of visible institutes, hidden institutes, many employed women who [were] brought forcibly. And no one cares. My dissertation was devoted to these women. [My] Motif of ‘Use and Throw’ turned matches into women, feelings, pendants, plugs, wires, and pearls.
Every woman is a one of a kind – but there are women who are not, who are transparent, traded, missing and are for use only. In my project of more than 1,500 matches, I will present one match everyday – for them.”
“For the sake of these women”, says Galit, « hold a second every day …”

Coup de coeur/Decouverte ! Eva Tesarik & her faded glories

Eva Tesarik  jewels presented at JOYA 2015, « Palazzo » collection -

« In these works, Eva Tesarik has taken inspiration from two different sources, both relating to the past. The Oceanis Nox series takes inspiration from the sinking of the Titanic. All the luxury the ship was carrying disappeared into the sea, was covered in algae and coral and became part of the ocean. Tesarik spent time near Sperlonga in Italy, picking up shells, stones, objects from the beach, covered in algae and coral, just like those from the Titanic. The items from the Palazzo series are allegorical of the declined, faded glory of the Palazzi of the Italian Renaissance. They are brought to us as filtrated fragments. Tesarik found an old tray in Venice, cut it into pieces and made jewellery from the various fragments. A new glory appears and takes us into a new world.  » (No-gram shop online)

« The objects of the “Palazzo” collection stand allegoric for the (declined) (deep)faded glory of the Palazzi of the Italian renaissance. They are brought to us as filtrated fragments. I found an old tray from Venice, I cut it and made new jewelleries from it.  A new glory appears and transform us in a new world. »

 **

Eva Tesarik often worked with « treasures from the past », from the « declined, faded glories », as in her « Oceanis nox » collection or even previously, as in the « The beauty and the beast » collection : there’s always and old, beautiful, remaining object from the past in her jewels …. a golden part of a funiture, a golden part of a tray, of a ceiling, of a building …. not only an « old thing », not only a « golden thing », but a « glorious golden old » thing, the marbles, carved moldings parts of old furniture (like chair legs in the form of lion’s paws), moulding parts of a paneled oak wall from a castle room, the crystals from the glorious old crystals chandeliers, …. as we can see in her « Time of pearls » necklace, in her « Louis » brooch, in her « In Petersburg » brooch, etc …. yes …. Love of « faded glories »
