LIV Blavarp: Jewellery. Structures in Wood

By Cecilie Skeide

Maple, birch, walnut, lemonwood and palisander are just a few of the woods from which Liv Bl varp (b. 1956) creates exceptional one-off jewelry pieces. The rigidity or softness of the wood plays just as much of an important role in the selection process as its structure or texture. The works are comprised of numerous single elements, which fuse together to become sculptural volumes tactile creations that come alive when touched. Yet at the same time Bl varp's expressive and colorful pieces remain flexible and wearable. Their forms are not clearly defined; associations to organic growth, animals and plants, light and shade, water and waves all come to mind. With around 55 works from 2002 to 2017 Liv Bl varp presents the first comprehensive review of her creative output. Text in English and German.
