MARITIM
DOERTHE FUCHS
OPENING ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 5–7 PM
PLATINA, Tegnérgatan 4, Stockholm, Sweden
The exhibition runs until September 27.
Doerthe Fuchs’ first encounter with fish took place in childhood, literally at eye level, when she saw them laid out on ice with their large, gleaming eyes in a delicatessen window.
Since then, the universe of fish has influenced her artistic practice, appearing both in drawings and in jewellery. Soldered silver eyelets flow gently around the neck, in motion reminiscent of an ocean wave.
The exhibition Maritim reflects this deep love of the sea and the oceans. Here we encounter fish in many forms, music boxes created as tributes to those who lost their lives at sea, as well as boats and ships.
Among them are the great ships known as windjammers, named for the sounds produced when the wind whistles between their sails and plucks at their many ropes like the strings of an instrument. The act of “rigging” a ship, its complete equipment of masts, sails, and ropes, suggests an elaborate adornment, a concept that resonates within the world of jewellery.
Doerthe Fuchs is a jewellery artist from Munich in Germany. 1993 she received her diploma from the Academy of Arts Munich.
