Forget what you think jewelry should be, and consider instead what it could become. Curated by popular jewelry maker and blogger Arthur Hash, PUSH Jewelry profiles the cutting-edge work of 30 top jewelry artists from around the world, including such standouts as Lucy Sarneel and Beppe Kessler. These mavericks are creating a bold new language in technique, materials, and subject matter, confidently crossing boundaries between craft and art. Each chapter features six to eight pages of gorgeous photographs and an inspiring Q&A-style interview. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I have to admit that the linear part of my brain was in charge when I started looking at this book and I thought that many of the pieces were quite ridiculous, but then I started look at them in terms of creativity, shape, form and some of the other design elements and principles we have been exploring in the Design Series. I kicked the linear part of my brain to the curb and started thinking about them in terms of originality and cool factor.
The books in the series highlight several artists and give a few pages to each artist, so the reader can see more than one work by each contributor. This part of the series includes 30 artists. Each section includes a picture of the artist and a selection of their work as well as an artist statement in Q&A format.
This book has really interesting forms. The pieces are quite sculptural.
Some of the pieces I really like:
-Li-Chu Wu, of the UK, has a piece that looks like a sea urchin.
-Allyson Bone, of the US, shows some necklaces that look like cat eye glasses or masks.
-Joe Wood's pieces, also of the US, are quite sculptural and would be appropriate 50 times larger and installed at the SFMOMA.
-Dr. Tina De Ruysser, UK, has some very interesting folded paper necklaces.
These pieces really push all sorts of the boundaries and even the display photographs are provocative. Many of the pieces are large. There are a number of the pieces that do not fit my definition of delicate or pretty. The artists use interesting and unusual materials as well: acrylic, dollars and Euros, fur, rubber, and porcelain, to name a few. The processes used to create the works are equally as interesting: folding stainless steel, adding powder coats, a process like origami, if it isn't origami along with normal jewelry techniques such as stone setting and metalsmithing.
I think that you would get a lot of inspiration from this book and wouldn't be sorry if you took a look.
