Making faces: a jewellery playbook

Uittreksel

From a beaded object that looks like a face to an abstract ornament that frames the face: Am I wearing you or are you wearing me? Making Faces - A Jewellery Playbook is a new project by Manon van Kouswijk that consists of 65 necklaces and an artist publication in which their multiple appearances are revealed. It is also designed as a manual, both a how-to guide and an invitation to the audience to create their own faces and other forms with the necklaces. A playbook is a document that serves as a scenario or script for a theatre play, a ballgame or a business transaction. The Jewellery Playbook presents the necklaces as performers on the stage or the playing field of the publication. The playbook activates the necklaces as objects that are more than simply wearable ornaments. -Based on https://galleryfunaki.com.au/exhibitions/making-faces-jewellery-playbook/, viewed February 2019.
