Jewelry That Makes You Think.

ARTICLES ON OFFER & THE REPORT Object Feature and News & Ideas by Art Jewelry Forum Drawing upon his technical design background, Stefan Gougherty creates jewelry that is both a celebration and a critique of industrial progress. With content mined from opposing forces—such as natural/artificial, trash/treasure, antiquity/futurism—his objects mirror the paradox (and humor) of this strange world we inhabit. Surfaces in tension: The inflated geometries of hydraulic-formed sheet metal provide a unifying contemporary language for the diverse collection of icons, symbols, and objects which are juxtaposed in this series.

FEATURED AJF LIBRARY CONTENT This is a PDF of an online review of Unnatural Phenomena, written by Eli Giannini. Unnatural Phenomena, from 2015, exhibited works by Patrícia Correia Domingues and Sara Gackowska, and was held at Gallery Funaki Melbourne. In August 2014, the Mari Funaki Award for Contemporary Jewellery awarded Patrícia Correia Domingues and Sara Gackowska each with the prize in the emerging artist category. Both jewelers were unknown to the three judges (Warwick Freeman, Simon Cottrell, and Julie Ewington), but left a deep impression on them for the artistic maturity of their work. View the PDF.

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.  Please share your digital media .
