Artemisia by Emanuela Bergonzoni   Emanuela Bergonzoni | Present-day ecological Jewels   "Metal has always captured my imagination: I am thrilled by the  infinite possibilities of expression that it offers. Polished,  pressed, laminated, soldered, cut, cast, bent, burnished, rusted,  etched... metal has always been worked by the hand of man,  serving as landmarks along his evolutionary path.   [...] I am amazed and astonished at how, at my will, my own  hands can forge and transform an amorphous mass of metal  into a beautiful ornament, harmonious and useful. [...] Working  the metal with my hands, without relying on industrial techniques:  this is what gives me the feeling, the knowledge, that I am  part of this history, part of the wave of  transformation". With these words Italian sculptress and  designer Emanuela Bergonzoni, describes her ecological metal jewels.   The Day After Collection is dedicated to those who appreciate  the beauty of simple yet strong shapes. A collection of  entirely handmade jewellery, each piece rigorously unique and  originally designed, bursting with vitality and harmony thanks to the  care with which they are conceived and crafted: the result of years  ofaesthetic and creative research, the fruit of a technique for creating  contemporary jewellery in tune with respect for the environment.   "The basic idea running through my work is to treat the metal as  if it were cloth: I translate this idea into crafting techniques that  express this intention. Over the last few years, I have concentrated  my research onenvironmentally sound techniques. For the Day  After Collection, I have made use of a complex hand-pressing  technique which renders the sheet of silver amazingly soft and supple".   more. www.emanuelabergonzoni.com/ | www.nostrasignoradeigioielli.it/   It's LIQUID News is an e-mail announcement service that provides  information about exhibitions at some of the world's leading art galleries  selected.
