I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know that Devienna and I will be taking a hiatus from the chromophilia blog for the season. We plan to reprise the exhibition next year, but haven't begun planning the next show yet. As a result, we will be taking some time away from the computer until we get the proverbial ball rolling again.
Chromophilia was a great experience, and we look forward to producing another exhibition of amazing jewelers next year... Until then, I'd like to invite you to become a follower of my blog, Evocative Objects, which focuses on contemporary jewelry and my studio practice.
Thanks a lot,
Islay

Curatorial Statement
The work presented in this exhibition is a result of in-depth investigations of color and materials. These explorations are articulated within the format of jewelry, which uses the human body as a pedestal. These artists have challenged the traditional concept of what adornment is, and are working beyond the borders of conventional jewelry. Non-traditional materials replace gold and gem stones, allowing the artists to adorn the wearer with jewelry that speaks more to design, and concept rather than monetary value. The saturation of color used by all of these artists to catch the eye, as well as to emphasize the effect that jewelry has on the wearer and its audience.
