Another day for Schmuck tour

Today we went to Helen Britton, Jewellery Life Catalogue launch in the morning, nice and fresh to start the beginning of the day. The gallery was literally crowded with people so it was quit difficult to see the work and even move around my body. However, I got to see her work over the people's shoulders and, of course, it was amazing. I am usually get interested by the artists work that seems hard to guess or think of the style of techniques and also the material that they use, and Helen Britton is one of the artist that triggered my curiosity- technique. Similar case to Laura Deakin, on pearl neckpieces and bird brooches which made me curiose on her unique and interesting way of she make her materials with polyester. It was beautiful combination with real and man-made pearl, with polyester. The bird brooches were also interesting because it was different from what she has done previously but it was good to see something that has changed, challenging, and pushing herself to develop into another way. What also like about her works is that they  all are wearable pieces that carries the idea of conceptual, intellectural and design in every pieces which I should think and learn from it.

After the Laura's place, we visited another small gallery and saw Henriette Schuster. Her works were displayed with small objects that she collected, and it was a pleasurable moment to see each pieces at the same time which all seems connected and directed her story well. Also her overlap neckpieces and rings reminded me of a pair of twins overlaping and separating from each other. Is it may be because I am twin???? Who knows.. haha

The glallery where Bettina Speckner's jewellery pieces were was such a amazing place to install. The ornamentation of the historical building and her pieces somehow conneced closer together, the fact that she used the idea and sense of nostalgia by working with old family photograph and the photograph that she took in the past. Her technique of setting stones on the image and metal also interested me, how she make position of stones and why she does that. And I found there is no reason or anything, which was fascinated me.
