“Raluca Buzura repositions porcelain into a wearable object. The fragility of porcelain, combined with the feminine image portraying a golden-flecked wing, sparks an ideal of both freedom and hope. Each porcelain piece is hand-cut and sculpted and cured in a kiln. The artist then hand-stitches the individual elements onto the faux leather back for stability in a graceful and meaningful pattern that sweeps around and up the neck. Both wearable and wonderful! Sculpture To Wear showed Buzura’s work at the Laguna Art Museum in December 2019.”

SUBMIT TO AJF'S LIBRARY

AJF believes that making information available about jewelry as an art form is an important step in advocating for the field. Our digital library supports the jewelry community by providing online access to jewelry scholarship that would otherwise be impossible to find. 

The library has a new feature that prevents PDFs from being downloaded. Just check the appropriate box when you submit—this will allow people to read the texts, but protects you from undesirable access and distribution.
