Art Jewellery in Conversation with Still Life
About the Session

Art Jewellery in Conversation with Still Life, showcases 15 local art jewellers who have taken one of art’s oldest genres off the wall and made it wearable in the form of brooches, necklaces, rings and other pieces.  This second collaboration between Strauss & Co and Stellenbosch University’s Creative Jewellery and Metal Design Division, brings together new works inspired by modern and contemporary still life, from Alexis Preller and Irma Stern to the humble banana.  On view at the Oude Leeskamer in Stellenbosch from 3 to 11 October during Woordfees, the show runs alongside the art exhibition Anything but Static: A Selection of Modern and Contemporary Still Life, presented in partnership with Strauss & Co.

Notes

"I use mostly silver to visually and practically hold my work together along with other elements that I might introduce in my creations. Recently I have been captivated and intrigued by the granulation jewellery of the Ancient Greek and Etruscan civilisations. I am influenced by architecture, its detail and objects of the past, principally of the Classical and Baroque periods. It is important that the jewellery I create is wearable and creates curious interest from the observer".
