Jewellery 還有很多答案,應該會繼續出現...


I was looking for the answer to the question “what is jewellery?” when finished the latest study in curating contemporary design, I wrote down an explanation: 

Jewellery has always been a part of human culture.
Like dance or art, it has been with mankind since its earliest days.
it could be a body adornment,
it could be a family heirloom,
it could be a states symbol or a talisman
in the present day, the question of “What is jewellery?” has been changing.
is it a piece of art or design?
It is whatever is happening now, 
whether or not, it gives pleasure to the wearer or the viewer

it is a medium that depicts human stories linking traditional and modern worlds.

來英國念書前,我一直在尋找”什麼是珠寶?“ 研究所結束的那一刻,我寫下了一個答案:

珠寶一直都是文化裡的一環,像音樂跟舞蹈一樣,從開天闢地以來它就一直存在我們的生活裡,它可以是身體的裝飾,可以是傳家之寶,可以是身份的象徵,或者是護身符。
”什麼是珠寶“定義在當代生活中,已經跟從前不一樣。
有人問我,它是一件設計作品還是一件藝術品?我想,它是一個反映當代生活的載體。
不管如何,珠寶給佩戴者跟觀者同等的樂趣。

這個載體,刻畫著人類的故事,連接傳統跟摩登的世界。


人類史一直在進化,珠寶也是。
