'Fragile Earth'
20th to 24th February
solo exhibition & 'world premier' of fragile.earth.ceramics !!!
|
A coming together of my many strands of creativeness ...... wearable sculpture/art-jewellery, ceramics painting and digital media .... to me everything comes from the same place .... everything is linked The Fish Factory is a wonderful space in the heart of Penryn's creative community. It also has an amazing cafe which is definitely worth checking out. ..................................................................................... I am inspired by what the earth gives to me; Found and rescued things ... destined to litter our lives or outlive us in landfill. Every individual element has a story; some we know, some we can only guess at ... and some we can only make up. The Earth is not perfect, and Earth is broken ... but though Fragile, the Earth is strong and the Earth ... is beautiful ... in all its' fragility. |

Rules I was not taught in the traditional jewellery rules and rules of making I work without these rules and without these limits Rules that would control me and make my works, my creativity and my mind conform My creative mind is not cluttered by the rules of the right way to do things My creative mind is not dictated to by the rules of what is precious I experiment and play as I want. I make as I want. My 'jewellery' does not conform to any traditional rule but is free to evolve however it wants to evolve .... with its own set of rules My materials impose their own rules upon the making, They have their own creative language. I am happy to follow their rules, they challenge me and they excite me. They tell me how they want to be and I listen They tell me where they want to go and I follow They tie me down, they challenge me, they inhibit me .... but ... these rules are freedom ... these rules are inspiration ... these rules are felt deeply to the core of my being ... These rules ... unlike all the others ... I can not and do not want to ignore |

She invites diners to wear these visceral jewellery pieces whilst consuming food with alternative dining tools. Lynne Speake is the founder of Precious Collective and a Contemporary Jeweller using found objects. Based in Cornwall, she has been exhibiting internationally and is challenging what it means to be 'Precious' in the world of Contemporary Jewellery. |

There is only the fine thread of wearability that separates jewellery from sculpture and art,
one made to adorn the body one made to adorn the space.
Yet on its own a piece of jewellery can present as a miniature scale sculpture only when combined with body giving an exciting new perception.

Model: Millie Coiley 'What we make is about issues that seem to be falling through the cracks of society because we have voices and we
know how to use them'. An eclectic multi disciplinary show, this exhibition will be taking place at the historic Villa Bengel, the gallery of the historic Jacob Bengel Art Deco Chain Factory, which embodies over 130 years of industrial history of the city of Idar-Oberstein. A very unique opportunity for exposure not only to the local makers, but internationally as well since Villa Bengel has developed into a highly regarded venue for contemporary jewellery statements. words sourced from NOD website (with thanks) |
