Do you ever try to imagine someone in their workspace? Someone who you may never have met and certainly never visited? AJF does. So we thought it would be interesting to publish an online series on work environments, not only for artists, but also for curators, collectors, writers, etc. The series will be called Work Spaces.
If you want to participate please send the following to Susan Cummins:
-
 |
Susan Cummins' work space,
photo: Susan Cummins
|
A photograph (see example from Susan's space) of your bench, desk, room, computer, etc. By sending this photo, you will be giving us permission to use it on the website. Please don't send photos of pieces, portraits, or anything else besides your space and how you use it. - A short (less than 200 words) paragraph describing what is in the photo and how it relates to your process.
- Your website address.
- The city and country you live in.
This is a completely open and ongoing series so if you want to pass it along to others, please do, but if you want to be the first up on the website, get yours in asap.
AJF looks forward to seeing where you work!

Elizabeth Murphy
Humorous and exquisitely detailed, and moving between jewelry and objects, the work of Myra Mimlitsch-Gray at the Metal Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, as reviewed by Elizabeth Murphy. You gotta love a review that utilizes "fetish" and "sexy holes" in reference to meticulously crafted art objects.

These books make a great addition to any craft-conscious library!
<<< Damian Skinner's survey of different facets of the field, Contemporary Jewelry in Perspective, with contributions from many thinkers on the topic, is a great introduction to the wide world of contemporary jewelry.
>>> Benjamin Lignel's AJF Best of Interviews is a look behind the scenes into the private thoughts of makers, curators, and collectors.
