How Many Is One encapsulates one of the fundamental questions at the core of art and design. This issue is highly pertinent to jewellery design as a language that seeks form through which to articulate ideas. The oeuvre of Deganit Stern Schocken (b. 1947) has delved into the socio-political question of place, creating works in which text is incorporated as an integral part of the object; in the process the artist has adhered to the classical language of jewellery while employing state-of-the-art technologies. The book explores the architectural-planning aspect in Stern Schocken's jewellery. While each object stands in its own right (like a building), it is also part of a system (the city). The trial-and-error process of casting and the notion of 'value' also play an important role in the artist's work, which alludes to local society and Israeli reality.
Under the ambiguous term HUNT (English: the hunt; Estonian: the wolf), Kadri Malk unites her collection of contemporary art jewellery. As a lone wolf, the Estonian artist and teacher compiled the pieces in her eternal hunt for beauty, mystery and creativity. Since jewellery is designed to be worn, Malk's fellow artists are not only immortalised in these works; they also pose in portraits alongside their favourite pieces. The jewellery is thus brought to life on the bodies of the collector's friends and companions. Text in English and Estonian.
