Mari Ishikawa sees a parallel world off the beaten track of everyday living, which she wants to make visible with her art.
The exhibition she shows is named“Border” Jewellery & Photography.
A “Border” is limiting space, time or your personality and identity.
Photo works:
Definitively here yet nowhere. The period 2016-2017 in Atacama Desert & the Easter Island in Chile.
Jewellery works:
New neck pieces which are representing a “Border”.
Rings + brooches: Silver or gold casts taken from nature are reborn as shadow in combination with diamonds, pearls, or silk.
Mari Ishikawa interrupts for a brief moment the flow of transience; a precious object is created that has been wrenched from the cycle of life and death to stand for itself and for the moment.

MARI ISHIKAWA – Schmuckobjekte

THOMAS BOHLE – Keramische Skulpturen

 

Mari Ishikawa

Mari Ishikawa aus Japan transformiert natürliche Texturen von Flechten, Blättern und Blüten in silberne, teils geschwärzte Metallgüsse und kombiniert sie mit Diamanten, Korallen, Perlen oder auch Japanpapier. Das Ergebnis sind verschiedene Gruppen von Schmuckstücken, vor allem Halsschmuck, Broschen und Ringe: Objekte, die Geschichten auf die Schönheit im scheinbar Banalen verweisen und so für kurze Zeit den Fluss der Vergänglichkeit durchbrechen. Jenseits der ausgetretenen Pfade des Alltags verbirgt sich für Mari Ishikawa eine Parallelwelt, der sie sich mit ihren Schmuckobjekten nähert und so den Betrachter in zuvor kaum beachtete Bereiche der Wahrnehmung führt. Ausgebildet am Hiko Mizuno College in Tokyo und an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste München befinden sich ihre Arbeiten heute in bedeutenden Museen, u.a. in Hamburg, Leipzig, München, London, Dallas, New York und Tokio.

Thomas Bohle

Der Österreicher Thomas Bohle zählt im Bereich der Gefäßkeramik zu den hochkarätigen Ausnahmeerscheinungen. Seine stets doppelwandigen, in handwerklicher Perfektion geschaffenen Objekte überschreiten spielend die Grenzen zwischen Keramik, Design und freier Kunst. Sie erscheinen als Resultat eines klaren Form- und Gestaltungswillens, der durch die sinnlichen, haptischen Qualitäten der reduziert gebrannten Ochsenblut- und Seladonglasuren unterstrichen wird. Thomas Bohle belegt mit seinem Schaffen überzeugend, dass das keramische Gefäß als eine Möglichkeit künstlerischen Ausdrucks nichts von seiner Aktualität eingebüßt hat. Träger des Bayerischen Staatspreises von 2006, sind Arbeiten von Thomas Bohle ebenfalls in bedeutenden nationalen und internationalen Museen vertreten, so u.a. in Karlsruhe, Freiburg, München, Berlin, Genf, Cardiff und Tokio.

My New Book: Where does the parallel world exist?

MARI_COVER_03.indd

„The present publication includes jewellery and photographs from the artist spanning the period from 1999 until today. This work shows clearly that beauty surrounds us in the seemingly banal. It invites us to accept the invitation and look more closely on our next walk outdoors, because only then, will we become aware of the natural beauty and richness of our environment.“

The jewellery of Ishikawa is mysterious and transports us to another world.
She uses plants are as symbols of the constant renewal of life and transforms them from the ephemeral into the permanent.
Mari Ishikawa uses silver casts from nature as a basis for her jewellery. With this technique she is able to emulate the textures of lichens, leaves and flowers and combined with other materials, which have their own history, she creates a new and completely different world-the parallel world.
When viewing her moonlight or black and white photographs of nature, one can see a poetic connection with her jewellery. There images stir up stories and memories, requiring us to take pause and consider our natural environment.

Workshop: Border – Parallel World

/

/
September 25th – 26th
Thursday and Friday
10am – 6pm
RedKnotsMI
Class Description

 Where does a “Parallel World” exist?

Can one discover this world through time travel?
Is it perhaps possible to see this world in a dream?
Or does it only exist in one’s heart?

The world we see is only a part of the entire
reality which is composed of many worlds
existing simultaneously, side by side.

We can find “Parallel Worlds” whenever we open our eyes and hearts.

They are always with us.

In this two day workshop with visiting guest artist Mari Ishikawa, students will explore the theme of  a “Parallel World” in relation to creating jewelry pieces. Beginning with and introduction to Japanese knot tying techniques, and basing individual projects on objects of memory that each student provides, Mari will share her approach to the concepts she uses in her work, and will guide students through similar processes.

This workshop is a special opportunity to stretch students’ boundaries and learn from a master jeweler whose unique use of materials in relation to a conceptual framework creates imaginative and thoughtful work.

All levels welcome.

Please read the full syllabus here: 2014 Final Workshop-Plan-Brooklyn Metal Works 4
This workshop is being held in conjunction with Mari’s artist lecture on Tuesday Sept. 23rd in the gallery.
