Jewelry That Makes You Think.

ARTICLE ON OFFER Jewelry & Objects by Art Jewelry Forum “The isolation of COVID-19 restrictions over the past year intensified Mlle. Guillaume’s desire to create works that evoke a poetic view of her immediate surroundings. Broadening her habitual connection with nature, she immersed herself in the simple pleasures of daily life that we typically take for granted. She focused on nature’s treasures found just outside her door, flora and fauna flourishing in nearby forests, insects that made her laugh, and flowers that spoke of love. She made delightful drawings, watercolors, and gouaches, often transforming them into jewelry that is intimate, tender, ‘soft,’ as Mlle. Guillaume states, mitigating the temporary lack of human interaction caused by the pandemic.” —Toni Greenbaum Caption: Aurélie Guillaume, Regarde le Ciel Avec Moi, 2020, brooch, enamel on copper, sterling silver, pure gold, hand-carved shell, stainless steel, 79 x 74 x 20 mm, photo: Anthony McLean Available from Galerie Noel Guyomarc'h
