"Frances Trombly uses trompe-l’oeil effects in her work to recreate mundane objects, making labor-intensive pieces through weaving, embroidery, cross stitch, and crochet. By recreating what is mass-produced she initiates an authority that is missing from the utilitarian original. Her objects exist in an environment where value lives, where value thrives, the gallery or museum. This contrast confronts the viewer, asking questions about labor, value, history, feminism, class, and the American way of life."

For other things, I make poetry of them; but the moral sentiment makes poetry of me.

"Oh, what a sculptural web Lee Renninger weaves: Bouquets of pretty porcelain blooms shimmer and dance in the light, creating a spider's doily that entices and enchants. Hanging and hanger couture! "

"Michaela Scherrer's creations rely upon dressmaker details. Centering on the art of patching, mending, darning and recycling, hence the use of vintage French linen and muslin. Her works, which range from lavender-filled leather pillows with laser-cut designs to jeweler-tooled zippers for her steel-legged sofas, take minimalism to the max."

Title Quote: Anthony de Mello

The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass, it becomes mysterious...indescribably magnificent world in itself.

There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.

"A 2006 graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, Lina Peterson has alreday exhibited in many international group shows including ALCHEMY: Contemporary Jewellery from Britain. Peterson creates intriguing and bold pieces of jewellery that play with boundaries, be it the relationship between garments and jewellery or the juxtaposition of different materials.  Peterson draws inspiration from the construction of garments, the intimate feeling of the inside of a cardigan or the diffused back of a piece of embroidery.  Pieces such as her ‘Collaged’ and ‘Stitched’ brooches bring such fragmented suggestions of garments into pieces of jewellery, often together with elements that are more closely identifiable as pieces of jewellery, such as silhouettes of beads. The main focus of Peterson’s work lies within the exploration of material qualities and combinations, allowing room for playfulness to enter the work.  Another outcome of her investigations is the ‘Crocheted’ jewellery where the language of crocheting is mimicked in metal and the metal forms are then extended with actual crocheting using colourful yarns."

Title Quote: Walt Whitman

Yet though her mien carries much more invitation than command, to behold her is an immediate check to loose behavior; and to love her is a liberal education.

Art Profile.

"I am attracted to the idea of jewelry taking different roles other than simply ornamentation. Ideas such as jewelry suggesting garment, jewelry taking over the body of the wearer, and jewelry breaking out of the traditional role of adornment are some ideas that enthrall me. The shift in scale and the use of nontraditional material in jewelry making allowed me to challenge these ideas. My work is predominantly made out of wool, and I explore forms and ideas of jewelry through texture, color, and overall composition. The softness and curves are inviting aspects of my forms; the sensuous properties of felted jewelry are uncommon and strike new challenges for the wearer and the viewer alike.

Jewelry does not have to come from one source, or convey one idea. It can be collaboration of techniques, ideas, and materials that converge together to make different emotions and meanings. I investigate the sensuous properties of wool and apply seductive aspects of jewelry to create alluring forms. The work’s nature can be both humorous and arresting for the viewer and wearer alike, while adding to the vocabulary of contemporary jewelry and fashion.

        I strive to create beautiful wearable pieces that provoke wonderment, attraction, and disturbance." hisano takei

Title Quote: Steele

This enthusiasm which must be held in check was a great burden for a child's soul ... to restrain meant to kill, to bury.

"Work based on the marks left by everyday life, the little accidents such as 
cigarette burns and food stains. Even though the stain acts as a decoration, 
you can always see traces of the fault."

Title Quote: Anais Nin
It accentuates the importance of the random and the ambiguity between 
the worn and the precious
