For years David Watkins has been a primal force to be reckoned with
in contemporary jewellery design, a mover and shaker in this new
international medium. This book is just what the retrospective
aficionados of art jewellery have been waiting for. Watkins is the
medals designer for the 2012 Olympics in London. This book
represents the first retrospective in print on the fascinating work
of the English artist in jewelry David Watkins, who started out as
a jazz pianist and sculptor but has been designing jewelry since
the 1960s. At the outset of his career, he designed miniature works
of sculpture. Later he began producing outsize wearable objects.
Watkins is increasingly preoccupied with the interrelationship of
the body and jewelry; his pieces of jewelry are becoming autonomous
art objects in their own right. David Watkins's versatility as a
jewelry-designer is astonishing: the diverse materials he uses
range from paper to acrylic, Neoprene and Colorcore to gold as well
as a profusion of plastics. His aesthetic "idiom" encompasses
stringent structuring as well as monochrome Minimalism and
compositions improvised in stunning forms and vibrant colors.
Watkins is equally comfortable working with traditional
jewelry-making techniques and computer-aided design as used
throughout the manufacturing sector. Drawing on a wealth of
photographs, drawings and statements made by the artist himself,
the book provides invaluable insights into the way David Watkins
works.
