Leonor Hipólito: Splendour of wearability
Splendour of wearability
25th March - 24th April
Museum S. Roque, Lisbon.
Leonor Hipólito
"The body, borderline of two worlds, the personal and the social, became along epochs the ideal platform where emotions, relations and stories are revealed.
In a language pliant to the needs of each culture jewels charm and reflect what each of us concedes as being precious.
Taking as a starting point works of the Museum of S. Roque the interest of this project lies beyond their splendour: in what they potencially reflect, giving space for new interpretations on usage and meaning in jewellery, offering views beyond the ornamental, where the body becomes performative."
Mari Ishikawa
On the 7th March Mari Ishikawa was awarded the prize “ Bayerischer Staatpreis“.
Congratulations Mari!

Thread bare
On Saturday I visited Thread bare, the exhibition I am showing in, in Rochester. It was great to see the other artists work in real life and I thought they had curated the works very well. While I was there I met Lucy Brown one of the other artists showing work. It was intersting to hear more about her and her work. Lucy has been working on a piece in the gallery for the duration of the show entitled "Limbo".

Bamboo
I took this image in the gardens at Standen. I love the rustle of sound you get when the wind blows through bamboo.
Standen
Standen, is an Arts and Crafts house in Sussex. Designed by Philip Webb, who also built The Red House in Bexley, for William Morris.
I hope to return in the summer when there is more to see in the garden. The house has an excellent display of textiles, ceramics and metalwork from the arts and crafts period, lots from William Morris, some ceramics by William De Morgan and metalwork by W. A. S. Benson.
Standen was a family home for the Beale family. Built in the 1890's.

It's a great interview, really interesting to hear more about the ideas behind Keith's work and how he goes about making his "Stuff".
Keith also has a blog where you can read about upcoming projects and his new DVD.

Shana Astrachan: Urban Renaissance
"My new piece "Green" is included in the exhibition
Urban Renaissance: New Visions of Jewelry and Sculpture
What is Green?
When are products truly sustainably produced?
Who or what else suffers in the process?
With the commercialization of “green” products we are left wondering where the term starts and ends, and how much of our perception is part of a marketing plan.
Many of us know what it means to practice methods of conservation, use nontoxic chemicals, buy from manufactures that do the same, purchase only “ethically” sourced stones, etc. But is every aspect of the businesses you are working with “ethical”?
Is this “green”?
“Green” is the anti “fine” jewelry, a commentary on the trend of greenwashing in the marketplace. While strikingly luxurious and opulent, 90% of the materials to make this piece were either donated or repurposed."
