the sweet facts of life

i've been absent for awhile, but i got a lovely note from einat, a self-described designer and dreamer from israel, and thought i'd share her post on my work. it's wonderful when your work goes out and someone somewhere far away gets what you do. her blog is called designbreak, and the post is called 'the sweet facts of life'. 

thank you, einat!

i liked his work in university, but hadn't seen it until recently. it's interesting to see how earlier work has influenced my own without consciously being aware of it.

thank you, veronica!

After last years great success, this year 1×1 collective decided to extend the temporary shop for the whole month of December. From the 7th until the 31st at ENTR’ARTe space, via de’ Serragli 79r (Santo Spirito), you’ll be able to discover original jewellery pieces made by 12 international jewellery artists.

As for every 1×1 event, the selection of pieces is absolutely new and exclusive. Only unique, handmade pieces for someone who seeks something special and non-commercial. We will introduce new artists and showcase both traditional and experimental techniques and materials.

Hosted by the space ENTR’ARTe, we will remain open daily, including weekends till 9pm. We want to share with you not only contemporary jewellery but also the thought process and story behind each original piece.

On exhibition: Eunjae Baek (Korea), Marlene Beyer e Isabel Dammermann (Germany), Andrea Coderch (Spain), Margherita de Martino Norante, Eugenia Ingegno e Gabi Veit (Italy), Elinor de Spoelberch (Belgium), Wen-Hsien Carissa Hsu (Taiwan), Sayaka Ito (Japan), Geraldine Nishi (Canada), Anna Helena Van De Pol de Deus (Brazil)

Dal 7 al 31 presso lo spazio ENTR’ARTe – N.B. STUDIO , in via de’ Serragli 79/r , potrete  scoprire gli originali gioielli di 12 artiste orafe provenienti da tutto il mondo.

Come per ogni evento 1×1, la selezione dei pezzi è assolutamente nuova ed inedita, solo pezzi unici, fatti a mano, per chi cerca qualcosa di personale e non standardizzato. Presenteremo nuovi artisti, tecniche e materiali sia tradizionali che sperimentali, gioielli non convenzionali, capaci di portare un messaggio e di esaltare il carattere della persona che li indossa.

Ospitati da ENTR’ARTe, rimarremo aperti al pubblico tutti i giorni, nei fine settimana fino a sera, per presentarvi e raccontarvi con semplicità la nostra ricerca e il nostro modo di lavorare.
