Private Confessions

The multifarious relationships between drawing and jewellery constitute a largely unknown aspect of contemporary art jewellery. The first publication on this topic therefore focuses on the graphic work by well-known and aspiring artists, opening up new perspectives in its juxtaposition with jewellery objects. Yet it also deals with drawing as an artistic action and as autonomous expression, for within it, the transgression of disciplinary boundaries, its experimental expansion and the pursuit to broaden familiar terrain take root. It accompanies aesthetic reflection and exemplifies the creative back-and-forth and the intimate dialogue with artistic impulses. A groundbreaking work leading to the impressive fusion of applied and fine arts before your very eyes!
