Japanese artist Asagi Maeda presents Department Store of Dreams / 4F—Men’s Apparel Bracelet at MydayByday Gallery, in Rome. This bracelet is the fourth floor of Department Store of Dreams that Maeda has created. “My favorite motif is a box, or more specifically, a box as a container,” she says. “It contains a world inside that is separated from the outside world. The possibilities of the inside world are unlimited. I like that the box can overflow with my imagination."

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.
