EXPO ‘Beyond textile – 21 jewelers from Argentina’ – Galerie help u zelven, Winterswijk (NL) – 27 Avril-24 Aout 2014

Beyond textile – 21 jewelers from Argentina

Curator: Luis Acosta

This exhibition gathers a series of pieces produced by twenty-one Argentine designers.

It consist of a variety of works that, even if they have contemporary textile jewelry genre as a strong reference, they often transcend it and play with its borders and limits using their own individual expressive resources.

Thus, we can see how shapes, textures and colors are expressed in a variety of materials and techniques in which also arises the peculiar relation notions on the human body as a carrier, in some cases, since there are pieces that step aside from this requirement of traditional jewelry´s typical function: be worn by someone.

Decouverte : Maria Tsimpiskaki « lace » jewelry

Maria Tsimpiskaki « from Greece with love », découverte à JOYA Barcelona 2012 ….. découverte … et adoptée !
Son nouveau travail, intitulé « Interlaced 2012« , est au 1er coup d’oeil très « classique », mais mais mais …. à y regarder de plus près …. les jeux de lumière dans/à travers la matière …

« I think of jewelry design as a combination of line and color and material that is each time the result of a given frame of mind, of different mental and emotional states.
It is the lines and forms and shapes that we encounter all around us in the natural world, in the street, or in everyday life, or even in the images these trigger in the mind … 
The colors that are inherent to the materials, almost invariably requiring special processing before they are revealed  …
And finally the materials themselves, whether luxurious, or humble, complementary, or disparate, or ephemeral, worked by hand using traditional and modern techniques to produce a range of unique pieces.
My aim is to create jewelry that is flawless in terms of construction and finish, perfectly fitting the human anatomy so that it becomes an essential and cherished accessory, setting off the personality of the wearer. »

Belles rencontres à JOYA : Valentina Caprini

Valentina Caprini, son immense sourire, son prénom au charme si désuet, la chemise en dentelle de sa grand-mère, « pizzi e merletti » …., ses coups de fard charmants, et, surtout, surtout, ses bijoux et leur histoire ….. leur histoire qui m’a tellement touché, faisant écho à ma propre histoire, jusque dans ce final en éclatement de rouge, cette « Rinascita » couleur de vie ….
séquence émotion

« Jewellery is Therapy
The act of making gives the possibility to take out what is unconfortable to keep inside.
The work and the self are strictly linked, what you live and what you make are going in the same direction.
My original project was about old fabric, mostly lace.
While I was making my own lace its structure started to become like a cell structure, thousands of meters of threads to materialize what was happening in my own life.
I treat my pieces as I do with my body.
The body becomes the support of its own representation, its re-birth. »

Comme une moderne Pénélope, tirant tissant brodant le fil, mètre après mètre, y incluant médicaments et pilules, comme pour mieux parvenir à sa guérison, comme des gris-gris, de petites conjurations du mal qui, peu à peu, se dilueront avec le temps, patiemment déroulant le fil, du temps, de la vie, de l’ouvrage, tirant de soi, au propre comme au figuré, le mal, la patience, le travail, le temps, la « parole », car cet ouvrage est parole, expression de soi, partant du pâle exsangue pour arriver au trop plein de sang de la guérison, de la vie ………

oui, « jewellery is therapy », et d’ailleurs chaque bijou porte un nom de médicament ……

EXPO ‘Cloud Nylon: The Jewellery of Nora Fok’ – Gallery Four, Touchstones Rochdale (UK) – 17 Dec. 2011–10 Mars 2012

Cloud Nylon: The Jewellery of Nora Fok

Nora Fok retrospective exhibition of her work
Nora Fok is one of Britain’s leading contemporary jewellers, who works with quite ordinary materials to create extraordinary results.
The processes Nora uses – knitting, weaving, crocheting and knotting – transform linear nylon microfilament into simple and complex structures, inspired by her fascination with the natural world and the mathematical models that underpin it.
Much of her work can be classified as jewellery, but she pushes the definition to its limits making larger bodywear and pieces which stand independently as sculpture.

You can find out more about the exhibition at http://www.cloudnylon.com/

A Harley Gallery touring exhibition directed by Brochocka Baynes and supported by the Arts Council.

Luis Acosta – Collier 2011

« En la obra de Luis Acosta, se puede encontrar una mezcla de Latinoamérica y la influencia holandesa, país donde reside. En sus Tapices  el punto de partida es el paso de un color a otro de una forma casi monocroma. Para sus textiles murales ha buscado una estructura transparente que diera la impresión de algo muy frágil pero que sugiera de un patrón ordenado. Toda su joyería es tanto un adorno para el cuerpo como para la pared. Con sus objetos de hilo y papel juega con la luz y la sombra. Le es importante trabajar con formas y colores.las primeras les dan la dimensión del trabajo mientras que la segundas le proveen de calidez.«

DIY MARNI BRACELET

………. bon …. ça doit être l’effet de la chaleur, hypnotisée par le chant incessant des grenouilles et « shootée » au parfum des daturas ……….

alors ….. un bracelet MARNI …..  à acheter …..

Marni Two-tone woven bangle available here

 

OU à faire soi-même (DIY, do-it-yourself)

 

DIRECTIONS:

This pattern is known as the « Cobra Stitch, » which sounds very fancy and difficult, but is actually pretty simple. If you need extra help, you can always check out this video for some additional, visual instruction! 

1. For the base of your bracelet, cut a 1-foot long piece of the thicker ribbon (5/8″ Orange, in this case). You also will need to cut a metre long piece of the thinner pink ribbon and the thinner orange ribbon (1/4″ Shocking Pink and Orange, for those of you keeping track).

2. Take the thin pink and orange ribbons and fuse their ends together with a small amount of glue, so that you have one long piece of ribbon. Wait five minutes for the glue to completely dry before moving on to the next step.

3. Tape the top of the base ribbon—the thicker, 5/8″ Orange—to a steady, flat surface and center the fused, thinner ribbon underneath it. Each side of the fused ribbon will serve as Ribbon A and Ribbon B (to follow example above).

4. To begin the Cobra Stitch, take Ribbon A and cross it over the base ribbon and under Ribbon B to make a loop.

5. Bring Ribbon B under the base ribbon and through Ribbon A’s loop. Once knotted through, pull Ribbon A and B equally so they create a knot around the base ribbon.

6. Continue this pattern, alternating the lead ribbon from side to side. (Note: if your pattern starts to spiral, you’re not alternating sides.)

7. Continue braiding the bracelet until you have reached a desired length then double knot both ends. The pattern should be 3/4 the size of your desired length for the bracelet, as the remaining 1/4 will be used to tie around the wrist.—Jessica Baker

Actuality : Luis ACOSTA new works

Under the name ‘Quipus’, Luis Acosta presents his most recent series of paper strand objects. Originally a quipu was an assemblage of coloured knotted cotton cords of different lengths and used as a means of communication. By tying knots at particular points on these cords vast amounts of information could be recorded and passed on. Acosta’s objects vary in shape from circular to rectangular and are made of double strands of paper stitched together. He experiments with the different lengths and colours of the pairs of strands and the different knots he has tied into them (Rijswijk Museum, NL)

The necklaces were created by repeating a simple basic shape. the rigidity is given by the number of layers of paper or paper threads that are sewn together.six stichted layers of paper, diameter 30 cm, 5 cm high, or stichted paper thread.
