George Bowes’ porcelain cups, mugs, tumblers and vessels are thrown, then folded, the utilitarian porcelain objects are embellished with complex surfaces. The undulating forms are ergonomic and provide multiple ways to securely grip each work. Handles on the forms echo the arches and angles in the forms and provide visual continuity and a sensory experience for the hand.

Recollection 2
Brooch. Oxidized silver 950, pure gold, shibuichi (pin). Keum-boo.

Interested in how the regular and irregular unite to make an intended shape and the idea that small points accumulate to become a line, Arata Fuchi’s brilliant technical skills and background in industrial design are evident with his various techniques and use of materials, including Shibuichi, a traditional Japanese alloy of copper, and silver, and Keum-Boo, an ancient Korean gilding technique is used, depleting the surface of sterling silver to bring up fine silver, then applying thin gold wire to fine silver wire with heat and pressure.

“This wide scarf is the woven transcription of Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen’s Habanera aria. In its width, the shawl unfolds the opera’s famous « L’amour est enfant de Bohème » theme. In its length, it unfolds Carmen’s song, or Habanera: « L’amour est un oiseau rebelle... ».”

Pop Tarts by Linda Dolack.
2024. Glass beads, rhinestones, mixed media. 3.75” x 3.75” x 5.5” h



Linda Dolack employs glass beads as a material to highlight our shared love for common, processed and junk foods we as Americans have grown to love and ultimately find comfort in. Recycled food wrappings are completely and reverently covered in an attention-grabbing mosaic of beading, not dissimilar to stained glass windows in a religious setting. This labor intensive application of tiny, sparkling beads elevates and celebrates their status and beauty.

Rachelle Thiewes. Arc #598 Necklace. 2024. Steel, silver, auto paint.
——
“The engineering of the necklaces was complex. Each steel layer needed to be painted separately. Once the painting was completed the layers could then be assembled using a system of soldered on threaded rods and nuts. This required zero tolerance for error in placement of the rods and drilled holes. The silver chain attachment was the most challenging aspect of building these necklaces, requiring much experimentation with models in steel. There were several considerations. It was important that the chain and its connection links would not scratch the paint when attached. Due to the potential weight of large layered disks the wearer needed to be able to hold the form while securing the clasp, without being able to see the attachment. The connection needed to be very simple but effective.” -Rachelle Thiewes
