A Bit of Clay on the Skin: New Ceramic Jewelry

This exhibition at the Museum of Art and Design is worth checking out. I had the opportunity to see Evert Nijland's work in person; his exploration of materials is admirable.

If you want to see contemporary jewelry, definitely visit the museum. Don't forget to peek through the pull out drawers under the showcases. They have tons of good stuff underneath as well.

Talk to Me

I am saving the date July 24, 2011. The MOMA is holding an exhibition called "Talk to Me." It is an wide exhibition about what objects signify and the relationship between people and objects. If you visit the link, you'll see that the people involved in this show are sharing their resources and research material. It is interesting and admirable to view their transparent process. I can't wait to see the exhibition. Objects, like jewelry, can be a bridge between wearer/viewer and maker. This is why I find the exhibition exciting, to see different messages in objects.
