LAND/BODY/JEWELLERY

In the field of visual art, jewellery art is still perceived in a limited way. The importance of craft and materiality has been undeservedly emphasised. However, the relationship between the body, as the most important decorative element, and spaces, without limiting the possibilities of action, is essential to stimulate research and the development of themes in this field. Any contact of the body with another object can be analysed through the jewellery context.
The creative practice at the Nida Art Colony allowed me to explore the limits of jewellery by leaving the workshop and the tool room. Moreover, it allowed me to move away from the technical, to analyse and discuss tactics of touching the body in relation to the exploration of the characters of surfaces and shapes, thinking about and through jewellery.

Landscape Jewellery otherwise more recognisably known as Land Jewellery by the term/title contributes to the promotion of a sustainable approach to creative materials, space and the relationship with it.

The workshop (01-05-2023 to 07-05-2023) was attended by:

Workshop leader Assoc. Neringa Poškutė-Jukumienė
Lecturers Karina Kazlauskaitė and Jurgita Ratkevičiūtė
