Arnoldsche Elisabeth Defner: Man - Nature - Cosmos Jewellery and Objects
Elisabeth Defner is one of Austria's most prominent jewellery designers. Since her jewellery design studies at the Vienna Academy of Applied Arts at the beginning of the 1960s she has been working as an independent artist in Vienna, until 1976 cooperating with the jewellery artist Helfried Kodre in a workshop community. In 1967 she won the Bavarian State Award in Munich, in 1970 the Diamond-Award. Today her works are displayed in museums in Vienna, Graz, Pforzheim, Cologne, Prague and Edinburgh. For Elisabeth Defner- who since 1990 bears the second name of Jesus- jewellery isn't merely an aesthetic matter, but also a form of complementary healthcare for body, soul and spirit. The energy radiated from the metals and stones is in holistic harmony with the forms of the jewellery and can bring about an inner transformation of the wearer. Brooches, earrings, rings or pendants are combined with moulded gingko leaves, so that the beauty of the jewellery can merge idealistically with the magical effect of the plant. Defner's magnetic jewellery of recent years also presents itself in the context of the incorporation of the hidden power of nature, with magnetic boxes and objects like magic wands and chess pieces.

Arnoldsche Margit Jäschke: Kairos
Margit Jäschke (*1962) lives and works as an independent artist in Halle (Saale), Germany. It was here in the 1980s that she studied at the Burg Giebichenstein art school under Renate Heintze and Dorothea Prühl. Her work — collage, jewellery, drawings, and objects — celebrates inspiration, the origin of all creativity. She delights her audience with her very unique vision of the 'poetry of things'. The title of her publication is symbolic of her oeuvre: Kairos is the Greek god of the fortuitous moment, who can only be caught fleetingly by his forelock. It is this precious moment that Margit Jäschke seizes, harnessing it to fuel her creativity. Discover this renowned artist’s multifaceted oeuvre, which blurs the boundaries between jewellery, painting, and sculpture. This book accompanies an exhibition of her work that will travel throughout Germany between 2022 and 2024. Text in English and German.
