SCHMUCK 2014 – Munich – 12-18 Mars 2014
TAL20 : FRIEDA DÖRFER and BEATE EISMANN
Vernissage 13 Mars 05:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.
« Ever since her childhood, Beate Eismann has been euphoric about the atmosphere in printers’ workshops, which she calls “a mix of heavy indus- try and precision engineering.” It was only logical for her to take metal printing plates and give them a new purpose in her jewelry. The motifs suggest mountain ranges traversed by valleys and canyons. Ink remnants, scratches, odors and labels on the plates are a code that awaits decryp- tion and chronicles the history of the plates’ former uses. » (ArtAurea) :

Enameled metal, glass stones, tombac, silver, slender rope« Frieda Dörfer became fascinated by guilloche ornamentation during her first semes- ter at the academy of design in Pforzheim. Reflections from guilloche can make a surface look like textile or can create a three-dimensional appearance. Guilloche “caressingly and fully covers” the hollow bodies of her jewelry. “I simply can’t stop applying guilloche until no unadorned metal or acrylic plate remains,” she says » (ArtAurea) :
