Postcards from the path. The assorted ramblings, photo essays and work of a British born , classically trained, Japanese Metalwork artist living in Torquay, England. Sunday, 18 September 2011. Credit and thanks where it's due. And this is quote, taken from that site, explains how it came about. One answer, to a question I imagine all candidates were asked, was probably very different from most and may have helped my cause a little bit. I was one of only 3 English speaking boys at the Vredenburg town scho...

Samstag, 19. Februar 2011. In Fords Atelier - At Fords Studio. Vor einem Jahr lud mich der südafrikanisch-englische Metallkünstler Ford Hallam zu einem dreiwöchigen Arbeitsbesuch nach Kapstadt ein.

Er ist meines Wissens der einzige westliche Künstler, der von der mittlerweile auch in Japan arkanen Goldschmiedetradition (kinko) adoptiert wurde. Dann zog er sich nach Kapstadt zurück, wo er aufwuchs, um eigene künstlerische Vorhaben umzusetzen. Die Disk...

Sculptured Jewels: Löwinnen und Junge - Lionesses and Cubs

http://karl-wunderlich.blogspot.com/2011/10/lowinnen-und-junge-lionesses-and-cubs.html

Montag, 17. Oktober 2011. Löwinnen und Junge - Lionesses and Cubs. Unter Bildhauern gab es bis zum Beginn der Postmoderne Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts einen kuriosen Streit.
